This healing guide is written for Indigenous children between 8 and 12 years of age. By reading this book with children, holistic healing can happen. A more loving and trusting relationship can develop between children and their caregivers. Practical and culturally sensitive ways of healing physically, emotionally, Spiritually, and socially are outlined in detail. Realistic examples are also provided to help children self-regulate and express their upset feelings in healthy ways. This book is founded on knowing that Native children are often misunderstood, misplaced, confused, abused, silenced, and hurt. Building a solid sense of self-worth as proud Native children, who are Indigenous to this land, is critical in helping our children heal and flourish.
