She is the director of CDC's National Center

for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion,

Her topic today is culture is prevention, overcoming trauma

and nurturing resilience through identity and connection

I've had the privilege during my time at CDC to spend time

with American Indians and Alaska Natives on their land,

in their homes, with their government and in dialogue.

As impressed as I've been with the challenges they face,

As overwhelming as the challenges may seem

in Indian Country, the solutions are there too,

and resilience among American Indians and Alaska Natives

Names say a lot about who we are, both positive and negative.

When Michelle Obama welcomed a group of American Indian

and Alaska Native youth to the White House this summer,

she talked about all the beautiful places in our country

So we use the indigenous names, Alaska, Connecticut,

But there's a negative aspect as well, and I'm not even going

We have a saying that we learned in our culture

And by we, I mean, white Americans of European ancestry.

I'm sure you can give me the second line.

and names have characterized the adversarial relationship

that we've had with American Indians and Alaska Natives

Navajo, for example, is a Spanish adaptation

of a Zuni Pueblo phrase, Apache de Navajo

To the Zuni Pueblo and thus to the Spanish and then to us,

the Navajo were the enemy who farmed in the valley

and the people we came to call Apache were the other enemy

The Navajo and the Apache each have a word for themselves

Pequot is derived from a Narragansett word

Comanche is derived from an Ute phrase meaning the

of an Ojibwe word meaning "snake" referring to their enemy

and Iroquois is a French corruption of an

Algonquian word meaning "snake" referring to their enemy.

The Pequot, Comanche and Iroquois have a name

for themselves in their own languages it means people.

And the Sioux have a word for themselves.

Throughout the 21st century, we Americans are still referring

to our fellow citizens by names they never called themselves.

They're on our CDC cooperative agreements.

So even with something as basic as a name, we're still defining

If you think that these names and languages

that few people understand don't convey their original meaning,

Over three-quarters of them have negative views of Indians

and of those, 25% use these terms to describe Indians,

"If you ask a Navajo grandmother how to prevent heart disease,

she'll tell you it begins with the naming."

which is something I understand and something

around which I can build a logic model that begins at birth

and ends with a lower risk of heart disease?

Or does she mean it begins with culture, with the communal act

of welcoming a new person into the world and among the people

which is something I understand less or not at all and around

which it's almost impossible to build a medical model

of discrete cause and effect all driving toward a lower risk

That failure of understanding marks the entire history
