Furthermore, the Congress’ authority to enact health care…

These strategies for maintaining a healthy lifestyle may combine Western medicine and cultural traditions, or reflect solely on one approach to care (Harris, Bhattacharyya, Dyck, Naqshbandi Hayward, & Toth, 2013). As a result, CHNs will be able to support, empower, and advocate for all Aboriginals, especially diabetics,…
