MARLA:  Do you have any other advice for anybody that might want to be a health aide? 

HANNAH:  Oh, yeah, I would.  You know, be a health aide. 

MARLA:  Yeah. 

HANNAH:  And be a good one.  And do it because it's rewarding.  Very. 

MARLA:  Yeah. 

HANNAH:  And I was thinking -- I lost --

MARLA:  We were talking about -- 

HANNAH:  I lost my train of thought.

MARLA:  We are talking about how supportive people in the family were, and how being a health aide has been really -- you were giving advice to future health aides. 

HANNAH:  Oh, yeah.

MARLA:  To be a health aide.

HANNAH:  Yeah.  I would. 

MARLA:  Yeah. 

HANNAH:  You know, I would -- well, I think I said already, it's so -- it's so rewarding, I think, to take care of people. 

MARLA:  Yeah. 

HANNAH:  Knowing that -- that you helped somebody. 

MARLA:  And that you're making a difference. 

HANNAH:  Making a difference on health.  In every way, in every part of that, you know, like taking care of yourself so you won't get sick, take care of yourself so this won't happen to you.  Run a little too much, I guess, but it is very rewarding. 

When I think back on my -- I always think of Dr. Johnson, how -- how supportive and how he believed so strongly about the program -- well, of course, the program, he started it.

MARLA:  Yeah. 

HANNAH:  But believing in the people, knowing that they can -- we can take care of --

MARLA:  Each other. 

HANNAH:  -- each other, our village, our people.  Yeah. 

MARLA:  Well, that's great.

HANNAH:  Uh-hum.  That's what he gave me, you know.  I just look at him, I admire him.  Yeah.  And all our Tanana Chiefs, so much friends -- so many friends.  Yeah. 

MARLA:  Well, I think this has been a great interview, and I thank you for your time and talking to me --

HANNAH:  Okay. 

MARLA:  -- about your experiences. 

HANNAH:  Uh-hum.
 
MARLA:  Thanks a lot, Hannah.
