Webinar Description:

To Indigenous peoples, the land is sacred. Our ancestors are part of the land we walk upon. Our homelands contain our history, our stories, our medicines. Our languages emerged and exist in the context of our relationships to the land. Understanding ourselves as connected to the land is the basis for our identity. In this webinar, we will explore the connections between Indigenous peoples’ relationships to the land and our mental health, in the context of healing and reconciliation.
