Summary

In addition to information included in standard biomedical and health care resources, such as peer-reviewed journals, texts, and reference books, this bibliography includes references to specialized resources like association publications, dissertations, agency and committee reports, audiovisual materials, and book chapters relating to the health of native peoples. Includes information on health organizations, facilities, and agencies serving the Native community. An excellent introductory chapter treats concepts of Indian health and the role US and Canadian governmental health care services have played. The multidisciplinary coverage, the access provided to 'fugitive' literature such as organization publications and book chapters, and the inclusion of the works of many Native authors are valuable contributions. Recommended for all Native American and health collections. --CHOICE
