It was an absolutely amazing experience to attend the 10th Annual Native Nations Nursing, Helpers, and Healers Summit. This year’s theme, “Culture as Medicine,” emphasized integrating Indigenous wisdom with collaborative, evidence-based practices to promote health and well-being for Indigenous communities and planetary health.
The summit featured Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer, renowned author of Braiding Sweetgrass and The Serviceberry, as the keynote speaker. Dr. Kimmerer shared insights on reciprocity, community, and gratitude inspired by the natural world.
This event welcomed tribal members, health professionals, students, and faculty, campus and community members, and advocates who are committed to holistic, relational approaches to health.
