This is the official app for the popular Native Voices: Native Concepts of Health and Illness exhibition at the National Library of Medicine.
Through beautiful streaming video and an interactive art gallery, this exhibition explores the interconnectedness of wellness, illness, and cultural life for Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians.
