<Hello Lactnetters,

I will be doing some breastfeeding support/and teaching on an Indian
Reserve and I wondered if anyone had any tips or pointers for being
culturally senstive?   The group is one with a combination of feeding
methods, so I don't want to alienate those who are ABM  feeding, yet
hopefully get them thinking about it for a next child.  I am planning a
game with the 'Breastfeeding Myths' from Jack Newman.  I have found in
general that these women don't offer alot unless specifically asked about
something.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.>

On this list some time back there was an RN, IBCLC, who is the diabetes educator for the White Mountain (Arizona) Apache reservation. I think her name might have been perhaps Sherry Jimenez????? If anyone knows her e-mail address, she might be of immense help to Kerri, and I too would like to stay in contact with her, as my family lives in AZ.
