His work with !he Aleuts, Eskimos, and Thl~ngets was i.n both preventive and clinical health. He spe-?-t one year on Pribilof Islan~ m the Bering Sea, 300 miles from the mainland, where most of his supplies had to be dropped from an airplane. He was located in the southeast region of Alaska for a couple of years where he was responsible for the health of 16,000 Indians. It was during this time that he developed a tr aining course for the purpose of using lay Indians as public health viorkers. As a result of his success, the Division of the PHS has now trained over 55 Indians throughout the U.S. to serve as health aids. Another of his accomplishments was encouraging the Indians to contribute money for the health services, thus overcoming some of their dependence on the Federal government. Desiring more experience in field research, he then spent a year in Arizona doing a study of d iabetes among the Pima and Maricopa tribes. Using the t echniques in CP he had developed in Alaska, he was able within two months to get even the most apathetic Indians involoved in the research project.
