Abstract
In this podcast series I explore how Native American medicinal practices have been lost throughout years of settler colonialist destruction, ultimately resulting in physical harm to Indigenous communities, a spiritual severance to Mother Earth, and cultural genocide. Acknowledging Indigenous healing methods maintains the value they hold, not only to Native communities, but to the progression of American public healthcare. Through the intertwining Native American medicinal principles to Western healthcare systems, we shift the focus from assessing individual proponents impacting health to a more eco-centric, community forward, and holistic way of providing health care solutions.
