Why MD/JD? I’m Dine/Navajo. My community’s health is entangled in tribal, state, and federal law. Both federal law & policy have detrimental effects on our Indigenous communities. If you would like to learn more, I will give a talk about this intersection: bit.ly/32OCD31

Thank you!!

Looked up your profile to say I loved this, currently citing it in an assignment I'm doing for my Masters in Nursing in Athabasca, AB. Love your words, keep sharing them!



Didn’t realize American Diagnosis was adding me to second podcast episode!! I hate hearing my own voice so I haven’t listened to this. But I’m on the same episode as one of law school mentors!!!

The new episode of AmericanDiagnosis.fm with @celinegounder is here! It explores how state and federal policies have left many tribal communities without access to clean, running water. Guests include @GMcGinge of @DigDeepH2O & @Ernestine_Chaco. 🔗: bit.ly/3INXRRs

As a child, @Ernestine_Chaco always felt that poverty in the Navajo Nation was caused by a "deeper" issue. Today, as a physician and JD, she's caring for her community and shedding light on the role social determinants of health play in COVID-19. #SDoH …with-dr-celine-gounder.simplecast.com/episodes/s4e1-…

AMERICAN DIAGNOSIS with Dr. Céline Gounder


Taking some time from my six shifts in a row to post the podcast I was interviewed on.

3/4 Don’t miss @Ernestine_Chaco discussing the importance and history of Indigenous sovereignty.



I always find it ironic when someone presents on health disparity and equity and not mention our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

Got my first rejection because I had “too many academic challenges”. So many URMs have challenges not because we’re inferior but because of the many outside stressors we face. I pray I become core faculty one day because I WILL stand with any student who is overlooked #MedTwitter

Nothing more powerful and healing than having a genuine, full belly laugh with your patient. Thank you to that patient for filling my spirit.

I have no idea what Joe Biden is doing or thinking or watching on tv right now. how fucking awesome is that


One of the harsh realities of being Indigenous is dealing with our “invisibility.” We often are left out of conversations and labeled “other.” We are not “something else.” We are over 500 +++ Indigenous Nations strong. #representationmatters

This!!!! I’m not a constitutional originalist either. Natives Americans, first people here, were not considered US citizens until 1924! 1924. 1924.

The Constitution didn't even recognize me as a human being when it was first ratified. So, no, I am not a Constitutional originalist.
