Early registration available ior Rooted i in the Mountains symposium sity and Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee have expressed interest in alternately hosting it. Lefler also organized an August event on: the, WCU campus intended to help sharpen the symposiums focus. A panel .of Native elders visited WCU to par- ticipate in dialogues -on Native science, which respects the natural laws of | interdependence, or phrased alternatively, a universal law of interconnectedness. Panel members encouraged those in attendance to shed their. personal -and career identities and: their tacit infrastructures beliefs so ingrained we unconsciously base our paradigms on them without questioning why so they could examine the -connection between health and the environment in new ways. Dr. Danna Park, medi- cal director for the integra- tive health care program at Mission Hospital, attended the dialogues. I found the evolving discussion rich: and rewarding and enlight- ening in ways I had no way - of anticipating, Park said. Missions integrative health care program, a sponsor | offers complementary of the dialogues, patients therapies shown to improve patient comfort, including _ aromatherapy, massage and pet therapy, used in con- junction with regular medi- cal care. The dialogues broad- ened Parks concepts of sci-' - entific. research. In Western science, researchers tend to ask Does this work?, Park said. That question just by the way its phrased . leaves behind emotional, spiritual, relationship-cen- tered qualities of a treat- ment, Park said. The Na- tive American worldview might prompt an alternate question of Why does this work? Research meth- odology is only as good as . the question you ask, Park said. The question can be changed so that we get more dividend back from ~ the research.

Commu- nity sponsors include the Center for Native Health, Watershed Association of the Tuckasegee River, the Canary Coalition, the Land Trust for the Little Tennes- see and. the Tuckaseegee Community Alliance. .
