Abstract
Some environmental and social organizations are making significant efforts to include the concerns of Native Americans in environmental risk assessments. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and American Indian Nations are making efforts to address this problem. The EPA and Tribal Nations are finding ways to make science more responsive so that Native Americans utilize resources from the environment. The EPA and tribal scientists measure the actual quantity of fish consumed by these people under this approach. Another approach is based on the culture of Native Americans, where health concerns are defined in terms of culture. This approach allows Tribal Nations to redefine health in broader terms based on cultural indicators such as traditional food habits and cultural ceremonies.
