I nt rndtg: t Ion
In his message to Congress in 1970, then-Pr-sident Nixon summari-
the current state of the American 1ndiar in the Is:
"The flrst Am ns the Indians are the n nos t deprived
and most isolated minority group in our nation. On vi r (tin 11 y
every scale of measurement employment, income, education
health the condition of the Indidn people ranks at the
bottom.
This condition is the heritage of centuries of injustice.From the time of their first contact with European settleis,the American Indians have been oppresed and brutali7ed,deprived of their ancestral lands ond denied the opportunityto control their own destiny- Even the Federal programs whichare intended to meet their needs have frequently proven to heineffective and demanding."2
Reflecting on this and citing the tagqerinçj list of grim statistics
that so painfully and graphically give meaning to these words, Dr. George
Blue Spruce, Jr. noted American Indian lender and dentist, notes that it
is indeed a sad commentary on the state ol nffairs, especially when com-
pared with the state of the Indians as reported in the writinTs of early
explorers and settlers3 In a speech entitled "Needed: Indian Health Pro-
fessionals," D- Blue Spruce quotes French Essayist Michel de Montaigne
who declared: "It
who w te:
rare to see 1 sick body among,t them," William Wood
of them reach fifty b-fore a wrinkled brow or grey hair
betrays their age," and a Dutch account which related: "It is some hat
strange that among these people there are few or none that are blind or
crippled; all are well-fashioned people, sl_rong of mind and body, without
4a blernisi
Indeed, if one compares these comments and observations as made in
the 1600's and 1700's w th the plight of the Indian people in our modern,
.111 iety rod.],
it d sad COMVA1 whth..tInpla
in the relatively short space of the history of this country. With all
the prcp es; that ha' heen ITiade In all areas, particularly in the area
and servi- the health condition of Aine r raii I idiom
In his address to Congress in 1971 the President 1 the thU ted
witness t this as he slid:
'Despite significant improvement'. In the decode and a
half, the health of Indian people still lags 20 to 25 yeare
behind that of the general population. The overage a(je of
death among Indians is 44 years, about one-third less than
the national average. Infant mortality is nearly 50't higherfor Indians and Alaskan Natives than for the population atlarge; the tuberculosis rate is eight times as high aad thesuicide rate twice that of the general population. Many
infectious diseases such as trachoma and dysentery thathave all but disappeare among other Americans continue to
afflict Indian people."
Government statistics indicate that Indians still su fer significantly
higher (in some a phenomenally high ) incIderic rate of Otitis M
gastroenteritis, strep and sore throat, influenza, trachoma, dy,mtery,
tuberculosis, pneumonia, measles, and dIseases al the respiratory system,
and have an abnormally critical necessity for treatment in the areas of
den 1, vision, and hear ng-related diseases. Overall statIstics point
out that the Indian is still worse off healthwise than the average citizen
of this country.6
In the midst of all this suffering and tragedy, there is a glimmer
of hope. Federal and state government , in most cases, are taking steps
to a d resolution of these problems by moving towa d providing better
h alkh care services for their Indian populations. Even more significant
is the hope and determination that can be found among Indian people, and
in particular young Indian people, themselves. For, as n ted by the
President in that same address to Congress in 1970:
. the stcry 4 the. Indian in America if. somelhinq
wore tl,iri the record of the white man's r aJI(ss iou,l)roknnl agreements, intermittent remorse and prolongedfailure. It is a record also of endurance, or survival,of adaptation and creativity in the face of overwhelmingobstacles. It 15 a record of enormous contributions tothis country -- to its art and culture, to it'. ',trength
mod spirit, (.0 its sense of history and it. orpurpose."7
The Nee r American Indian He lth Professi rink_ _
The need for Indians in the health services can only be ed as
overwhelming. As noted in virtually overythincj written ob ut the subject,
the involvement of Indian people in health, and hc'm1tIrrelated career fields
at thk time is almost nil and is even losing qroiind wi th the tremendously
growing demand for health services. Statistics tdkolm from the American
Indian Health Careers Handbook dramatically point out this great need:

What has been at d in this publication is Ia provide a directory

suit of individual interests. A corollary reading tnat emphasizes addi-
tional background on health careers is "American lodion Health Career
Handbook"8 (ERIC Document Reproduction Service No. Ell 125 828). It is
hoped that this assictance will open the doors to UQW horizons and oppor
for American Indians.
"The Indian youth must be given the opportunities to developtheir talents fully and to pursue their ambitions free ofarbitrary barriers to learning and employmen1. They shouldhave a chance to become professionals in the field of theirchoice such as teachers, nurses, doctors, rijineers, mana-gers, lawyers and leaders."
Dr. C. Minden
"Our people have always been admired for what we can do withour hands. Give us a chance to show you what we can do withour minds."
