In this collection, voices of Elders, healers, physicians, and scholars are gathered in an attempt to find viable ways to move forward while facing new challenges. Bringing these varied voices together provides a critical conversation about the nature of medicine; a demonstration of ethical commitment; and an example of building successful community relationships. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors: Alestine Andre, Janelle Marie Baker, Robert Beaulieu, Della M.
