Are Indians healthier than non-Indians because they have these secret plant cures?
At this point in time we are not healthier. We are presently in the process of healing our communities from several things. Some of those things are attempted genocide, poverty, residential schools and children being taken into custody by S.S.. The assault on our communities, languages have resulted in inter generational trauma that we are now addressing. Our communities are re-claiming languages and culture and medicinal traditions so that we can full heal out communities. It is a long process, but it is worth it
Sounds cool. My ex was an eighth Native American; my kids give their culture respect but never embraced it as they felt they had liberal white privilege (which, is somewhat true). Anyway, your program looks impressive.
Walking her walk by her side learning asking sampling planting gatherings talking to each organ each pain each pleasure will make us all teachers like her....healing comes from a lifetime of empathy....we heal by love nearest one another not hanging a shingle and selling touch or treatment
