11/1/2019 2 Comments Day 7Today we said goodbye to Tulsa. It was a bittersweet departure because on the one hand, we had met so many lovely people and still felt as though we had so much left to learn, but at the same time, we were all ready to sleep on actual beds instead of the sleeping bags we'd been using all week!
In parting, we would like to thank all of those that hosted us in Tulsa including University of Tulsa who provided our housing, the Tulsa Historical Preservation Commission, the Indian Healthcare Resource Center, the Osage Nation museum and visitor center, Tulsa City Hall where we met Councilwoman Vanessa Hall Harper, the Oklahoma State University department of American Indians in Medicine and Science, the Osage Nation Community Health Representatives, Osage Tribal Congressman Eli Potts, and the Wazhazhi Health Center. Read about our conversations with representatives of each of these places below to follow along with our journey and meet all of the amazing people we interacted with and learned from during our stay in Tulsa. We had such a lovely time on this trip and look forward to bringing our learning back to campus and keeping the conversation about Native American healthcare going on our campus and beyond. In gratitude, The Healthcare in the Homeland Breakout Trip

This trip aims to explore Native American experiences with healthcare in the US, including both the prominent issues and the solutions being worked towards. The trip will take place in Tulsa, a city that approximately 30,000 Native Americans call home, as well as on the Osage Nation, a Native American reservation just outside of Tulsa. By talking to various community partners from the University of Tulsa, to Non-Government Organizations, to healthcare providers, we will aim to hear from various perspectives to begin to gather an understanding of what it means to be a Native American seeking healthcare in the United States today.AuthorNatasha Thomas '20 |
