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 presentation is the Medical Humanities and Bioethics Montgomery Lecture Series’ second annual Carlos Montezuma Native Health Lecture, which is named in honor of the first Native American graduate of Northwestern University’s medical school.

In-person attendance is open to the Northwestern Community: Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building, 303 East Superior Street, Chicago Campus. Zoom attendance is open to all--registration required.
