Description: Dr. Arne Vainio is an Ojibwe physician who works on the Fond du Lac Reservation in northern Minnesota. He joins Jodi here to discuss his work in Native American health, but also tells the story of how his trajectory in life changed as he began to come into adulthood on the reservation. Soft spoken and serene, his stories of alcoholism, suicide and tragedy bring perspective to the conditions Indians face on reservations today. Also mentioned in this episode is Dr. Vainio's Emmy-nominated documentary Walking Into the Unknown, which you can find more information about here.
