Abstract From the formation of reservations, Native Americans have faced many
difficulties and continue to deal with cultural barriers today. Particularly within a medical
setting, there is a worldview disconnect between western medicine and traditional Native
healing. It would be useful to interview Native pupils to learn about their uses of
traditional healing currently and their experiences with both western medicine and
traditional practices. The understanding of Native American healing can help physicians
treat Native American patients more effectively through understanding their values and
improving their doctor-patient relationship.
