CATCHING UP ON A LITTLE NATIONAL INDIAN NEWS: GROUP FOOTS MEDICINE MAN’S BILL: PHOENIX, Arix. — A wounded Navajo who turned to a Tribal medicine man for a traditional healing ceremony after physicians decided against surgery has been paid $4,140 by the Crime Victim Foundation to settle his debts. The 56-year-old man, who suffered a gunshot would near the heart, paid four visits to the medicine man and paid the bill with 69 sheep, a frequent form of payment on the Navajo Reservation, which sprawls over parts of three states. The cash will allow the man, who was not identified, to buy 69 new sheep, officials said. “1 think that, culturally speaking, a traditional medicine ceremony is just as valid as going to your local physician,” said Carol Hebert, the foundation’s executive director. The foundation, which is funded by donations and by court fees from convicted felons, made the payment this month, saying the bullet was lodged too close to the heart for surgeons to remove it. Jay Emmerich, federal victim witness coordinator for Arizona, said the decision to award the money could set a welcome precedent for a rapidly expanding program that will reach into every county of the state, probably by February. “I believe if you are a traditional Native American and you believe in traditional healing ceremonies, then that is just like going to a doctor,” Emmerich said. Hebert said: “We don’t see ourselves as being in a role as saying, ‘Well, that doesn’t fit our culture, so it doesn’t count.’ We have to look at it from the victim’s point of view. “It certainly would be viewed as a medical expense because he paid for that traditional Navajo treatment,” she added. The foundation, which has compensated crime victims in Phoenix and surrounding Maricopa County since 1985, if being copied around the state to make Arizona eligible for matching federal funds. Hebert estimated that about 500 crime victims in Maricopa County will be compensated this fiscal year for funeral ex penses, counseling or medical bills incurred as a result of a crime.
