Show 197 Rabeau, E. S., "Programa para Mejorar el Status de Salud de los Residents Comunales de Aldeas en Alaska," Anuario Indigenista, XXVIII (December, 1968), pp. 163-168. English summary: The Division of Indian Health is responsible for providing health services to the Alaska Natives. This responsibility not only includes direct medical care, but also the raising of the general health status of the Native people. Due to the isolation element in Alaska, the number of Villages and other factors, it is impossible for the Division of Indian Health to provide continuous twenty-four hour coverage on a year-round basis to each of the villages. It is therefore essential that we utilize village people to the maximum extent possible to raise the health status of the Alaska native above, or at least equal to, that of the rest of the United States. Rabeau, E. S., "Proyeccion de una Actividad Sanitaria del Medio Ambiente para un Pueblo Menesteroso," Anuario Indigenista, XXVIII (December, 1968), pp. 169-179. English summary: The gap between the health needs of beneficiaries served by the Division of Indian Health and the ability to meet such needs continues to widen, and dramatic breakthroughs relating to the more efficient and effective management of our health resources are imperative. Such management can only be achieved through decision-making processes and resources allocations which are based upon firm scientific and planning data. 1969 Lomnitz, Larissa, "Patrones de Ingestion de Alcohol Entre Migrantes Mapuches en Santiago," America Indigena, XXIX, No. 1 (January, 1969), pp. 43-71. English summary: This study is the first of a series of three concerning the drinking habits of the Mapuche minority and is centered around the habits of migrants in Santiago, Chile. The others refer to the population in the reservations and a historical review of the subject. The author questioned 48 informants in unsystematized interviews, including two subgroups with extreme positions in relation to drinking: protestants and bakers, abstemious and excessive drinkers, respectively. Among the material that came to light, was the fact of a man's drinking to the point of intoxication, intimately linked to a conception of the convivial role of friendship. Also, the rejection of excessive drinking by women and by the solitary drinker. Also, it pointed up the fact favoring excessive drinking due to the opportunities provided by the form of payment to the bakers, as well as the success obtained by the protestant groups in achieving the abstinence of many drinkers by supplying them with possible alternatives of social participation, well-defined norms of abstinence and a means of securing a feeling of belonging. |
