Western medicine is founded on a scientific basis, but we must recognize that this scientific basis holds no inherent guarantee of quality or efficacy. The culture of Western medicine places diagnosis as a central goal, whereas alternative approaches see it as less central and pay more attention to finding a safe environment in which the patient may reorder balance and health. Come learn about the word ‘medicine” as understood by ancient cultures and about cultivating communal health through practises like smudging and purification, herbal medicine making, communal harvesting celebrations, talking circles and sound medicine circles

The colonized, or Western diet, has debilitated our communities’ health--body, animals and nature. It is time to reconnect with our roots, and honor
the sacredness of the Maize, lands and original food traditions. It is now time for us to remember our food as sacred, or as our elders advocate, begin to “decolonize our diets.” By this action we begin to strengthen our earthly relationships and reclaim our spirituality. May we remember our food as

a ceremonia: one heart, one mind, one spirit-
