Get rid of any stereotypes you have about American Indians from bad Hollywood movies and television, and learn how you can grow your understanding of American Indian/Alaska Native Veteran cultures and traditions. There are over 570 tribes in the United States, and all of them have their own history, tradition, language and culture. This session – presented by three American Indians who represent three different tribes (the Seneca, Apache and Sioux) – will give you valuable insight in how to work effectively with American Indian/Alaska Native Veterans. This session is one of three addressing the needs of American Indian/Alaska native Veterans.
