Resilience and Reverence, Tradition and Transformation w/ Jerry Fontaine

Indigenous Medicine Stories Podcast is a collaboration between AMS Healthcare and the Jason
A. Hannah Chair in the History of Indigenous Health and Indigenous Traditional Medicine at the
Northern Ontario School of Medicine University. Indigenous Medicine Stories aims to educate
health professionals and the public about Indigenous healing. The podcast will highlight the
lived experiences of Indigenous Knowledge holders, healers, and Elders and help professionals
who practice Indigenous healing.
Since time immemorial, Indigenous Peoples held a knowledge system of wellness, healing, and
medicine. Colonial processes such as Treaties, the Reserve system, the Indian Act of Canada,
Residential Schools, child welfare policies, racism, discrimination, and excluding Indigenous
healing in Western biomedicine and education have attempted to erase this knowledge system.
Furthermore, until recently, the health education professions have played a role by excluding
Indigenous knowledge from the curriculum. Also known as Anishinaabe mshkiki nwii-
dbaaddaan ("I'm going to talk about Indigenous medicine") in Anishinaaabemowin, medicine
stories explore the perseverance and holism of Indigenous well-being and healing practices
through the lived experiences of practitioners.
