Book Overview

This narrative delves into the health and healing practices of indigenous tribes across the United States prior to the arrival of settlers through to the present day. Focused on physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual well-being, the book traces each tribe's origins and their current locations, shedding light on their economic and social issues today. The book explores the impact of interactions with settlers, explorers, and neighboring communities on the health of these tribes then and now.


Uniquely, it provides a comprehensive examination of traditional health and healing methods, addressing the repercussions of cultural interactions from early dealings to contemporary times. In a landscape where few works focus on the health aspects of individual tribes, this book stands out by offering a nuanced exploration of the diverse indigenous societies and their evolving health paradigms influenced by interactions with White culture.

About Sue Johnson

Sue Johnson has been designing hand-knits since her children were young in the 70's. A love of color motivated Sue to design hand-knits incorporating hand-dyed and hand-spun yarns. More recently Sue Johnson has incorporated butterflies into her designs to symbolize her metamorphosis as she matures. Exploring the use of color and texture has opened up limitless opportunities for creativity. With this book she hopes to inspire knitters to spread their wings and release their innate creativity. Sue has presented creative knitting workshops at the Embroiderers' Guild and Brighton Recreation Center in Melbourne. Sue has also developed and given presentations on the Art of Knitting. Sue originally studied and taught mathematics, then changed career to work as a registered nurse. Sue's recent work has been in research at Monash University. Sue hopes this book will inspire others to explore the possibilities of creating unique knitted items and enjoy the same pleasure she has experienced creating original hand-knits.
