Cultural Appropriation and Traditional Indigenous Healing Practices

Spring 2019 Speaker, Elder Little Brown Bear, answers: what are some challenges that non-indigenous therapists face when integrating traditional Indigenous Healing practices and perspectives into their work? Working with community members means understanding the lifestyle, The Seven Grandfathers, The Medicine Wheel, ceremonies, songs, drumming, elders, and how all this respectfully works with healing. Elder Little Brown Bear runs the Aboriginal Healing Program at Michael Garron Hospital – Toronto East Health Network.
