As we raise our collective consciousness around topics like colonization, we can begin to notice the spectrum of Western society and values. The value we place on money means a lack of stewardship of the land and resources around us or the dependency created by Western NGOs operating in other nations. Kim illuminates these topics through her Indigenous way of knowing and helps you to ask the questions we must all begin to ponder, like what narrative do we want to create or what we want to ensure will be in place for the next seven generations. You’ll gain an understanding of her personal journey as a 60s scoop survivor connecting to her Indigenous Nation, plant medicine, the authenticity of human experience, and how the stories we carry in our bodies shape our experiences.
