<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Native Voices explores the interconnectedness of wellness, illness and cultural life for Native Americans, Alaska
Natives and Native Hawaiians. Stories drawn from both the past and present examine how health for Native People is tied to community, the land and spirit. Through interviews, Native People describe the impact of epidemics, federal legislation, the loss of
land and the inhibition of culture on the health of Native individuals and communities today. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
