I am specifically interested in the healthand well-being of people. I am interested in advances made by medicine, socialscience, mental health, and writing. My values are: do no harm; respect all peopleregardless of their origin, heritage, and belief; I value history, tradition, and culturebut also in the future and in the possibility of engaging confirmed knowledgewith new findings that can be explored, defined, processed, and validated for thebenefit of people. I am especially interested in voicing health careers for Nativepeople, in particular the youth. I would like to be associated with processes andpersons, who operate with a minimum of specific governmental direction, areindependent, forwarding looking, ethical, and responsible to society.</
