HEALTH EDUCATION AND OUTREACH FOR THE CROW PEOPLE
Our Videos
Akbali'a Balehawase' I'tichiok" -
Medical People take good care of us"
The advisory board and staff of the Messengers for Health project are proud to provide you with this community-developed resource.
This video presentation inaugurates our efforts to support the Indian Health Service in delivering high quality health care to our community.
By portraying some of the unique Apsáalooke (Crow) cultural ways, traditions, beliefs, and ceremonies, we hope to enhance healthcare providers' ability to communicate and work with members of the Crow Nation. Individual members of the Crow Nation practice these ways, beliefs, and ceremonies and speak the language to varying degrees.
Recognizing that many providers find themselves in a cross-cultural situation, we hope that this video will foster greater understanding and increase community involvement for all healthcare workers. As stated in the presentation. "You don't learn Crow, you live Crow."
