title: Faculty experiences teaching Native Americans in a university setting.
abstract: Nursing faculty told their stories about the beginnings of a Native American Family Nurse Practitioner Recruitment Program. Through hermeneutical analysis, the authors' findings reveal a strong academic worldview, active in maintaining professional standards. This traditional view tends to override efforts to provide individualized programs that are culturally relevant to the Native American worldviews. By understanding the value conflicts active in this study, nursing faculty can begin dialogue to create new learning experiences that are more culturally relevant.
