Annotation: This mobile application captures the contents of a National of Library Medicine exhibition. The app lets users explore video interviews with tribal elders, healers, and others who practice traditional medicine, Western medicine, or a combination of both. The content relates to five major themes: individual, community, tradition, healing, and nature. Interviews can be searched by keyword, interviewee name, or topic. Other videos provide an exhibition overview and highlights of the 4,400-mile journey of a totem pole specially crafted for the exhibition, from Washington state to Maryland.
