Cree and Venture shared their personal journeys in reconnecting with Indigenous cultural practices, including beadwork, powwow dancing, and traditional regalia, while discussing the therapeutic and community-building aspects of these activities. They explored the challenges of maintaining cultural traditions in modern contexts, including systemic barriers faced by Native American communities and the importance of personal growth and resilience. These two discussed the importance of developing coping skills and promoting wellness in Indigenous communities, emphasizing the need to reconnect with cultural practices rather than relying solely on Western medicine. Venture shared his personal experiences reacclimating to his tribe and the impact of his presence as a role model for younger Indigenous individuals. Both agreed that while traditional practices are crucial, a blend of cultural and modern approaches might be necessary for the future success of Indigenous communities.

Thank you so much Cree we can't wait to see you again soon!
