The Healing Alliance: Western Medicine Meets Indigenous Traditions, Part Two
Manage episode 442770780 series 3561565
Welcome to part two of this two-part special, co-hosted with Dr. Karen Hill of the Department of Family Medicine at McMaster University and host of Two Row Medicine podcast.
Two Row Medicine is a new podcast navigating relationships from a traditional Indigenous perspective in the 21st century.
On June 8th and 9th, 2024, Indigenous healers, elders, health administrators, and physicians gathered at the Six Nations of the Grand River in Southern Ontario to discuss strategies for addressing the growing demand for Indigenous healers. It was the third gathering, with the previous two taking place on Manitoulin Island and in Rama in 2022. This gathering brought together healers and Indigenous physicians in meaningful dialogue to explore ways of collaborating on health issues, such as addiction.
We invited participants to provide their perspectives on collaboration in this episode:
- Kevin Deer – Lead Cultural Advisor at First Nations Technical Institute
- Terri Debassige – M'Chigeeng First Nation
- Randy Trudeau – Artist, designer, and educator
- Dr. Annelind Wakegijig – Lead Physician at the Baawaating Family Health Team
We would like to acknowledge the financial contributions to this podcast made by the Department of Family Medicine at McMaster University and AMS Healthcare.
