Abstract
Many studies have focused on the special needs of American Indian popu lations. Some of these studies have special impact on Indian veterans. These can be grouped for consideration around cultural and personal i dentity problems. These problems are multifaceted and interacting. The y bear directly on the community and individual self-esteem. The four major points of these problems are stress, depression, alcohol/drug de pendence, and racism.
