Abstract

This is an actual case study of a young Native American man. The names have changed but the challenges remain the same. The intersectionality between the Native population, a rural community, and poverty intersects to create a compelling look at the challenges people face in these communities. Implications for Nursing in relation to practice, education, and policy are addressed.

Keywords: Health policy; Native American; Nursing education; Poverty; Rural.
