Indigenous Peoples have always carried the knowledge necessary to heal.
Very little has been shared about indigenous systems and how it promotes self-love and approach to healing..

When our people were young, they were sent on the land to gather as much experience and knowledge as they could, and when they returned, they would contribute what they learned.
They teach us how to make good decisions for ourselves and for all other aspects in our lives.

These stories are teachings, prophecy and protocols shared throughout the years by elders, language speakers, medicine people and helpers.
You cannot have one without the other.
When our people heal, our families heal, our communities heal and our land will heal.
