Land-based treatment and healing happen when we return to the land and use supportive tools to relearn, revitalize, and reclaim our traditional wellness practices.

The land is foundational to our Indigenous identity, but over generations of colonization, we have been disconnected and dispossessed from our traditional lands. Reconnecting with the land helps us restore that relationship, rebuild our sense of identity, and strengthen the cultural practices that support our healing.
