Into the Circle: Wellness Work with & within Indigenous Communities:
A postcolonial • strength-based • values-driven • culturally rooted approach
Into the Circle offers a practical approach to the reclamation of culturally rooted wellness that decolonizes the community as it invites individuals and families to into its circle of wellness. Written to support Indigenous insiders to de-colonize those with whom they work and to assist settlers to become more effective allies. The book is divided into three sections:
- Colonization is the Disease discusses the impacts of historical and contemporary colonization and how to be a postcolonial contributor and advocate.
- Culture is the Cure explores the engagement of four traditional values as a foundation for the understanding and encouragement of Indigenous cultural wellness.
- Community is the Medicine offers a practical, strength-based, culturally rooted, values-driven tool to guide wellness initiatives with Indigenous individuals, families, and communities.
