Dakota Community Collaborative for Translational Activity

In this webinar you will hear about the 12 learning modules in the Sandbox developed by NIGMS-supported investigators together with Google Cloud engineers. These modules cover a wide-array of biomedical research topics including omics analyses, DNA methylation analysis, ATAC-seq, biomarker discovery and using artificial intelligence/machine learning powered image analysis. Each module is delivered through an interactive step-by-step tutorial, quizzes, and visualizations.There will be live demonstrations by two investigator teams to show how to access and run the modules they developed on Google Cloud Platform.

Join CHAD and the Center for American Indian Research and Native Studies (CAIRNS) for this three-day "workshop on wheels" aimed at health care and public health professionals to better understand the history and culture of the Lakota people. This experiential workshop will expand your ability to foster a culturally safe environment for your patients and their families. Culturally safe care is a key element of improving quality of care and reducing health inequities.

Over the course of three days, participants will engage in on-the-ground immersive activities at prominent Lakota sites, including Mato Paha (Bear Butte), Cankpe Opi (Wounded Knee), Wasun Niya (Wind Cave), Pe Sla (Reynolds Prairie), and more. Between stops, the learning will continue on the bus, with live presentations, film clips, group discussions, and one-to-one conversations with rotating seatmates. There will also be plenty of time to observe the beautiful landscape passing beyond the bus windows.

The Lakota Lands & Identities Workshop on Wheels is intended for all health center staff, including leadership and patient-facing staff.

REGISTRATION DETAILS:
• CHAD has reserved a number of seats at no cost to member health centers.
• Partner organizations may be able to purchase a set number of seats depending on availability.

This collection takes a holistic view of well-being, seeking complementarities between Indigenous approaches to healing and Western biomedicine. Topics include traditional healers and approaches to treatment of disease and illness; traditional knowledge and intellectual property around medicinal plant knowledge; the role of diet and traditional foods in health promotion; culturally sensitive approaches to healing work with urban Indigenous populations; and integrating biomedicine, alternative therapies, and Indigenous healing in clinical practice. Throughout, the voices of Elders, healers, physicians, and scholars are in dialogue to promote Indigenous community well-being through collaboration. This book will be of interest to scholars in Indigenous Studies, medicine and public health, medical anthropology, and anyone promoting care delivery and public health in Indigenous communities.

Walking Together, Working Together Indigenous Elders, healers, Western physicians, and scholars seek complementarities between Indigenous practices and Western biomedicine.
