Teachings From the Land: Indigenous People, Our Health, Our Land, and Our Children

Abstract

In this article we discuss the interconnectivity of Indigenous people, their cultures,and ways of life with the land and the idea that the health and well-being ofIndigenous children, their communities, and ultimately their Nations arise from theirconnection with the land and from a strength of culture that grows from thisconnectivity. We argue further that these connections, leading to a holisticunderstanding of health, are intrinsically linked to education.
