Abstract
"Seattle's Chinatown International District (CID) is more than a hub of Dim-Sum restaurants and Chinese herb shops; it is home to the historically displaced Duwamish, ethnolinguistically diverse Asian immigrants, and some of the city's transient unhoused population. Being informed about systemic issues of inequity, such as displacement and racism, and their long-term impacts on health disparities, Public Health nurses can steward nursing caring work more relevantly in order to cater to the health needs of the communities and the people we serve and will champion a more sustainable caring capacity to self-care at both individual and population levels. Keywords: self-care, community, social determinants of health, colonization, displacement, systemic racism, structural competency, advocacy, Theory of Caring, Public Health Nursing"
