Healing Practices

"Native Americans believe their healing practices and traditions operate in the context of relationship to four constructs—namely:
  1. Spirituality (Creator, Mother Earth, Great Father)
  2. Community (family, clan, tribe/nation)
  3. Environment (daily life, nature, balance)
  4. Self (inner passions and peace, thoughts, and values)."
