Native American Youth Pay a Visit
Gifted Group Represents 36 Tribes
On June 19th, a group of 50 outstanding Native American high
school students and their counselors visited the National Library of
Medicine. The three-hour visit included a tour of the Library and
the "Turning the Pages" display. The students visited the History of
Medicine reading room and were treated to a guided trip through the
"Once and Future Web" exhibit. They especially enjoyed distorting
photographs of themselves captured by the digital camera installed
in the exhibit. In the Lister Hill Center, the students heard one of
three talks given by Communications Engineering Branch staff.
The students are participants in the National Native American
Youth Initiative, an academic enrichment and reinforcement program
coordinated by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of
Minority Health and the Association of American Indian Physicians
(AAIP). The 50 students, 10 counselors, and 3 AAIP staff represented
36 tribes.
Thanks to Joanna Mayo, a secretary with the National Network
Office, for contributing this article.
