Dear Dr. Coyote, I know that October is recognized as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but I also heard about something Called Indigenous Pink Day associated with it. Can you give me any more information please? Signed, Cancer Survivor.

Dear Survivor, Congratulations on your health and recovery. As part of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month the third Thursday of the month (this year 10/17/2024), is known as Indigenous Pink Day. This is an opportunity to learn more about this disease that impacts American Indians particularly hard.

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and it is the most common cancer in Native women. Additionally, American Indian women have the worst breast cancer survival outcomes of any racial group in the United States. Indigenous Pink Day aims to educate Native communities about the importance of early detection and proper treatment. Signed, Doctor Coyote, Always a Supporter of Native Health

Ayukîi!

The Orleans Spay and Neuter Clinic will be postponed. We do not have new dates selected yet but will provide an update once those details are figured out.

Doctor Essex was very hopeful that he would be recovered in time for this clinic but needs to allow his body to have more time to heal.

We continue to send positive thoughts his way during this time.

Please be on the lookout for new details. In the meantime, if you have any questions- please reach out to Brionna Gonzales at 530-643-2268 or by email at bcgonzales@karuk.us. ... See MoreSee Less
