In another situation, 'Sam', who suffers from a chronic mental illness lives in government-supported housing that provides a room with an in-house cafeteria for people with similar difficulties. These are the 'would-be' homeless you do not see on the streets. A house manager tends to the overall management to ensure that these former patients can live as independently as possible in the community. They are treated with respect and dignity. Aside from providing the basic needs such as food and shelter, one resident was found to be sleeping on a mattress with the springs poking through a large hole. Due to the nature of his illness, he was afraid to complain. Through the help of a long-time caregiver, the problem was brought to the attention of management. A new mattress arrived the next ...

Noise exposure has been the focus of research attention for nearly 40 years, since the classic work by Glass and Singer (1972). Several studies have documented adverse effects of chronic noise exposure on children, including disrupted reading acquisition (Bronzaft & McCarthy, 1975; Evans & Maxwell, 1997), memory impairment (Hygge, Evans, & Bullinger, 2002), and physiological stress responses (Evans, Hygge, & Bullinger, 1995). Fortunately, these effects appear to be reversible: The introduction of noise attenuation strategies resolved reading problems in elementary school children (Bronzaft, 1981), and the end of chronic noise exposure (because of the closing of a nearby airport) reversed the adverse effects on memory (Hygge et al., 2002). There is mounting evidence that ...

Quintasket became much more than a novelist. Her exposure to non-Aboriginal people brought a renewed awareness of the differences between them and her people. She used the fame she had gained as an established author in her efforts to advocate for Aboriginal land rights and became the first woman to be elected to the Salishan tribal government. In her writing and in her other works, she attempted to represent Aboriginal culture to a dominant non-Aboriginal world, and she challenged the popular accounts of the Native American stereotype that had been perpetuated by ethnographers. She joined with other Aboriginal women to form social and craft clubs, and worked hard to form the Colville Indian Association. She led the group in its efforts to obtain over-due land payments, address unresolv...
