Vol. 6 No. 1 (2023)

Thank you to everyone who submitted to the Public Health Review. As always, thanks to our Advisory Board, University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing, our faculty advisor Stuart Grande, and our dedicated and thoughtful reviewers. 

Thank you to our authors - Devin Graham, Mark Faries, Race Creeden, Elizabeth Lees, Estefanía Henríquez Luthje, María Fernanda Díaz Soto, Jasmin Garcia, Gabriela Henríquez Luthje, Miguel Mejía Sang, Tanya Pablo González, Angelica Floren, Nola Holness, Luis Castro, Ryan D. Morgan, Rohan S. Pendse, and Courtney M. Queen - for sharing your work with our readers.

The cover features a beautiful and meaningful illustration from Michelle Irish who shared the following background behind the illustration: “Bemidji, MN is a community that is made up of many unique people, including people that are members of our neighboring reservations, which include the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, and the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians. These tribes are losing their women at the hands of some of our other community members, and outdated laws around the Indian Relocation Act and federal policies have made these women an easy target for human trafficking. In order to have a strong community, we cannot let offenders take advantage of laws that have been brushed under the table by those that don't see the worth of these women's lives. We are all part of our community, and therefore, our laws should be inclusive and give extra protections for these vulnerable community members. The design includes a quote: ‘A good community doesn't leave anyone behind’ within the distinct symbolic red hand that has been commonly used by the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women's movement. Although the community of Bemidji has work to do, I have seen beautiful unity in diversity across our community to take action towards solving this heartbreaking problem.”
