	EDITORIAL: A Boost for Indian Health Strategies - Health - RedOrbit
		By Indian Country Today, Oneida, N.Y. Jan. 24--Kudos this week to the University of New Mexico, creator of the first national, interdisciplinary center for health policy dedicated to the development of American Indian and Hispanic students.
		Indian country, which disproportionately faces barriers to good health and wellness, must continue to educate law- and policy-makers about the fundamental principles of sovereignty and the federal government's responsibility in providing health care to Indian people based on government-to-government relationships.
		The creation of a new generation of professional Indian leaders that is well-versed in these issues is a tremendous shot in the arm, so to speak, for our national strategy, improved services and access to health care, and the wellness of our communities.

	The State of Indian Nations Today
		Today, the system is such a mess that independent estimates suggest that billions of dollars that belong to Individual Indian people and Indian tribes have been lost by the federal government.
		Indian gaming has provided jobs and economic activity in a number of tribal communities where no other options were available to address the extreme conditions of poverty and unemployment.
		Indian Country has felt the same economic losses the nation as a whole has felt in recent years—but families in Indian Country have been largely unable to benefit from homeownership, that one bright spot in our economy.

	Unraveling the source of domestic violence in Indian country
		Historically, when Indians were forced to settle on small reservations, the Indian male was stripped of his weapons which kept him from doing the jobs that made him a man: Feeding and supporting his family.
		And then came the horrific time when Indian men and women were forcefully taken from their homes and placed into boarding schools where they were physically, emotionally, and oftentimes sexually abused by their well-intentioned keepers.
		How much of the abuse we see today in Indian families is a harbinger of those horrible days spent at Indian missions and Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding schools has never been researched in-depth.

		The long hard fight for the hearts and minds of the American public on the economic reconstruction of Indian country is not yet guaranteed - not by a long shot.

		Time Magazine's recent vandalism to the public's understanding of Indian gaming could roll back years of progress for our tribes, progress that is just now starting to lift centuries of darkness from all over Indian Country.
