Description
The authors explore understandings and practices of indigenous people, grounded in the knowledge of ancestors and based on research, that facilitate healing and wellbeing.
The first part of the book focuses on research findings from He Oranga Ngakau: Maori Approaches to Trauma Informed Care, which supports health providers working with whanau experiencing trauma. It discusses tikanga Maori concepts, decolonising approaches and navigating mauri ora.
The subsequent chapters explore indigenous models of healing, focusing on connections to land and the environment, whakapapa connections and indigenous approaches such as walking, hunting, and growing and accessing traditional foods for wellbeing.
