Indigenous People Navigating Healthcare in a Dystopian Society

What do (coerced) treaty rights and tribal sovereignty have to do with healthcare professionals and instructors in a big city like Chicago? How do you provide optimal healthcare when you don’t know what you don’t know about Native people? Native citizens in what is currently the US navigate a checkerboard healthcare system and a settler society established with the goal of assimilation. Often these social determinants of health are not considered when training healthcare professionals or when providing healthcare to Native folks.

This lecture will be held in-person for Northwestern students, faculty, and staff—in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior). Chicago Campus. For those outside the Northwestern community and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, the Zoom option will continue to be available.
