Indian Health Care Improvement Act

This past weekend in DC was the celebration of the end of The People's Walk 2008.



As part of that celebration, The National Indian Health Board, among others, were on the mall in Washington DC trying to raise awareness about the importance of reauthorizing Indian Health Care Improvement Act.




While I wasn't part of the celebration on the National Mall, I learned about this through an acquaintance with whom I've had interesting racial discussions about biraciality and cultural hybridity, immigration, minoritarian community organizing and activism, and coalitional politics.

It is with coalitional politics in mind that I'm posting about IHCIA here, for none of our struggles can be overcome without help from allies.

Here's to hoping people will take the time to educate themselves about IHCIA, and take action to encourage its reauthorization.
