Summary:
"The purposes of the Healing Through Culture & Art Shawl Collection are to: first acknowledge the contributions of those American Indian women who have walked on; second, provide support for women survivors who are currently managing a number of cardiac diseases; and third, encourage awareness of heart diseases, differentiate symptoms from those men experience, promoted culturally relevant approaches to prevention, and stress the importance of self-care for current and future generations"--Page 3
