First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples' culture and history is rooted in
wholistic view of well-being. Traditional health is important not only to the individual,
but also to the family and community. Indigenous knowledge, language and culture
influence the health and wellness of the community, often through traditional activities
and ceremonies. This course explores Indigenous knowledge and traditional health,
as well as strategies to bridge the gaps between traditional and Western
medicine in promoting wholistic health services for First Nations, Inuit and
Métis peoples.
