Elbridge W. Merrill (1870-1929), a talented professional photographer from New England, spent thirty years in the town of Sitka, Alaska documenting the life of its multiethnic population: Tlingit Indians, Russian Creoles and Euro-Americans. Merrill’s images of the local indigenous people’s ceremonial and daily life are particularly striking. They are both beautiful and a major source of historical information on the rich culture of the Tlingit people.

David Napier and his colleagues at the University College London are developing health inclusivity indicators that improve our analysis of the social determinants of health. Some 40 countries are being assessed, 20% of which deny care to stigmatized groups. Judging from research thus far, low-income countries which lack the resources for universal health coverage often do better at the level of community engagement and inclusion than higher-income countries.
