    Dr. Michelle Aihina Inkinsh Holhpokunna Johnson-Jennings, a Choctaw tribal member and mother of four, passionately co-develops land-based health interventions based on ancestral principles. Her aim is to renew well-being and revive medicine, food, and land-based practices. As an Indigenous health psychologist, she recognizes CIEDAR's importance in establishing a global network for Indigenous communities. This network fosters the exchange of strategies and ideas between esteemed scientists and Indigenous partners, effectively preventing and mitigating risks tied to COVID-19 variants, particularly regarding land-based healing practices.

    (Re)storying implies that stories are shifting, changing, being re-spirited. (Re)storying involves questioning the stories we believe about the world and returning to Indigenous knowledges and narratives regarding our connection to land, others, and self.
