Cathy Fournier On Indigenous Identity And Health
Because of colonisation, many Indigenous Peoples face issues of discovering who they are, in terms of identity. Sometimes, this is as a result of education or religion. Sometimes we question our own indigeneity, and perhaps, in some cases, there are reasons for this. Each of us has a different past, a different coming together of events, that has led to who we are, and where we come from. Cultural Survivals Avexnim Cojti spoke to Cathy Fournier, from the University of Torronto, in Canada. Cathy through her own battle with cancer found part of her Indigenous identity and the reconnection to the ancient ways of looking at health, a holistic way.
