The Res

So, for part of my clinical hours in the community I attended a Fort Hall Indian Health Care Conference. I was one of 3 white people there. I felt a little out of place. At the beginning someone named Snookins gave a traditional prayer. The rest of the day was filled with health care topics that are specific to Native Americans. They kept saying throughout the whole conference that Indian women were beautiful and I kept thinking, "Hey! What about me?" I also felt a little funny inside, like climbing the rope in gym, when they started talking about all the history and those dang whites. No, they never actually came out said dang whites, but I still felt a little wierd. It was a good day to see some culture though and hear about their traditional beliefs.
