Nokomis Mary Elliott talks about our journey to healing from the impacts of colonialism and intergenerational trauma as Anishinaabe kwe-wuk, families, and communities. Nokomis Mary is Anishinaabe Kwe from Atikameksheng Anishnawbek. She shares her knowledge and wisdom about Anishinaabe traditions and spirituality to organizations across Ontario, including the Anishinabek Nation’s HIV Program. Nokomis Mary believes that we can regain our power and wellbeing as Anishinabek by reconnecting with our culture and ceremonies. Please note that some listeners may be triggered by the recount of Indian Day Schools. To access a 24-hour National Crisis Line: 1-866-925-4419.
