“…These terms are a reflection of the non-Indian's beliefs about the American Indian. Words such as stoic, selfcontainment, aloofness, lazy, unproductive (Ho, 1987), noncompetitive, poor self concept, weak ego, passive, resistant, noninvolvement (Everett, Proctor, Cartmell, 1983), reserved, controlled, self sufficient, unemotional, and little hope for the future (Edwards and Edwards, 1980) all appear biased against the true meaning of American Indian beliefs. Backup (1980) described three beliefs and images that the American society has about Indians: 1) one image is of the Indian on a horse wearing buckskin clothes and feathered war bonnets; or 2) another image is as a drunken Indian, a suicidal Indian, or a defeated Indian; and lastly 3) the image of a granite-faced grunting redskin with no feelings or sense of humor.…”

“…American Indians believe in creating a sense of unity when interacting with another human being (Dubray, 1985; Edwards & Edwards, 1980;Everett et aI., 1983;Ho, 1987). American Indians believe people should be able to understand each other without words.…”

“…The values, attitudes, and beliefs of health are reflected in the behaviors of the Indian. Four concepts--indirect communication, time, individual development, and interdependence--are behaviors that are valued by the Indian in promoting harmony with family, environment, supernatural forces, inanimate and living objects, and community (Attneave, 1982;Edwards & Edwards, 1980;Ho, 1987;Red Horse et al, 1978). These behaviors of the Indian/environment interaction pattern promote the balance of health sought by the Indian.…”

“…Tribal nations can close the community to non-Indians, therefore limiting the influence outsiders have in the family systems that are part of the community (Edwards & Edwards, 1980;Everett et aI., 1983;Good Tracks, 1973;Goodluck & Short, 1980 …”

The purpose of this study was to identify the social process of infant care among Cherokee mothers. Nineteen informants, who had an infant less than 2 years of age, were interviewed. The data were analyzed using the technique of constant comparative analysis. A social process of Indian infant care among Cherokee mothers was identified. Eight conceptsemerged from data analysis. The first and principal concept, being a Cherokee mother, describes the functions of being an Indian mother in Cherokee society. The other seven concepts describe the patterns of cultural care the mothers provided to their infants. These included accommodating everyday infant care, accommodating health perspectives, building a care-providing consortium, living spiritually, merging the infant into Indian culture, using noncoercive discipline techniques, and vigilantly watching for the natural unfolding of the infant. Trustworthiness and credibility of the generated theory were evaluated through multiple measures.

Methods for Cross-Cultural Communication in Clinic Encounters

Successful cross-cultural communication is critical for adequate exchange of ideas with our patients. Our communities have become more diverse and thus the necessity has increased. The murder of George Floyd and other atrocities have sparked recognition of the need to address social injustice and racism, and as we fight the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Allergist-immunologists are uniquely trained to explain the complex immunology of COVID-19 to patients, but have less experience discussing issues of health equity. Here, we explore critical components of patient-provider communication: communicating with those for whom English is a second language, advising patients with limited health literacy, and understanding non-biomedical views of health and wellness. Two barriers to communication are discussed: implicit bias, and structural racism. Finally, we consider how the recent innovations in technology, the electronic health record including its patient portal and the use of telemedicine have both impeded and improved communication. We offer suggestions of what we could do to address these in our own local communities that would insure better understanding and exchange of health information. This perspective grew out of an effort by the AAAAI Committee on the Underserved to provide training in cross-cultural communication.
