Testimonials From NRN Scholarship Recipients
Emily A. Haozous, PhD, RN (Fort Sill Chiricahua Apache) • 2008 Recipient
"I received an NRN scholarship to attend the 2008 NRN conference. This scholarship provided me with needed support that helped me attend the conference, and I was able to participate in a “speed mentoring” session at which I was able to get excellent feedback about a project I was working on following my dissertation research. I am so grateful to have been given the scholarship and have had the networking and mentoring opportunities through NRN. The Network is one of the few organizations that can provide me Native-centered, culturally congruent networking and mentoring in the country. Thanks, NRN!"
Marc Emerson (Diné) - Doctoral student in Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
"My colleague, Kathleene Ulanday, MPH, CPH, and I presented a paper, "Indigenous research methods review: Where are we now and what work needs to be done?" at the 25th Native Health Research Conference. As Indigenous scholars, we reviewed and analyzed the evolution of indigenous-centered research and offered a point-of-view commentary on the future of indigenous research, from young indigenous scholars prospective. NRN Travel funds helped to attend this conference and meet other researchers."
Leslie L. Randall (Nez Perce) - RN, MPH, PhD nursing student, Washington State University
"I was able to go to the conference and be a part of the plenary session on Boarding Schools. I was able to recruit both Dr. Phillip Smith and Dr. Ben Muneta as speakers to share their stories about the boarding school experience. I had a chance to interact with many individuals I had not seen for a while and the sessions were outstanding. I thank NRN for this travel scholarship to make it possible for me to participate in this important conference."
