A primary purpose of “Ka’m-t’em: A Journey Toward Healing” is testimonial justice whereby a space is given to share experiences of resistance, renewal and advocacy. In addition, the book is meant to shift the paradigm of thinking from a monological to a multilogical perspective. A multilogical perspective acknowledges multiple truths and perspectives of the same event. As such, we are providing a list of supplemental resources for readers who wish to learn more about the themes presented in this book. Please note that this list is not absolute and it will continue to evolve and grow.

The abstract states that Indigenous people “experience more traumatic events and are at higher risk for developing posttraumatic stress disorder compared with the general population. We conducted in-depth interviews with six Native healers about their perspectives on traumatic injury and healing. We analyzed the interviews using an inductive approach to identify common themes. We categorized these themes into four categories: causes and consequences of traumatic injury, risk factors, protective factors, and barriers to care. The implications of our study include a need for improving cultural competence among health care and social services personnel working with Native trauma patients. Additional cumulative analyses of Native healers and trauma patients would contribute to a much-needed body of knowledge on improving recovery and promoting healing among Native trauma patients.”

The book’s abstract states, “Substance abuse, mental illness, and violence are self-perpetuating vicious cycle in many Native American communities. In this book, the authors highlight the importance of eliminating health disparities and increasing the access of Native Americans to critical substance abuse and mental health services. Dedicated educators, researchers, and clinicians in the Native community demonstrate how practitioners can work within both the walls of western medicine and the circles of traditional healers, and promote healing through changes in the way we treat our sick-spiritually, traditionally, ceremonially, and scientifically- whether in rural areas, on reservations, or in cities. They emphasize the importance of non-profit community-based health organizations as nodes for community interaction and sources of mental health services for Native Americans in multi-tribal, multi-ethnic, and multi-racial urban areas. This excellent collection will be invaluable for medical and mental health professionals and the Native health community.”

The purpose of this chapter is to expose readers to the deep rooted relationships between Indigenous peoples and the natural and spiritual elements of the world. An appropriate classroom activity may highlight that 1) Indigenous peoples are a living people, 2) Regalia has a spiritual significance (and is often exploited through sports mascots and costumes) and 3) our human responsibility to respect and protect the natural environment.
