HEALTHY SPACE IN EDUCATION

As an Indigenous woman dealing with the effects of intergenerational trauma, I find myself at a crossroads between a painful past and a hopeful future. My journey is more than just getting by, it’s about showing the strength and resilience that come from facing and overcoming these challenges. It’s a message of hope to others in our communities who are working to improve wellness despite the racism and injustices that still exist. ...

"The Buffalo is a symbol of strength and resilience. The Buffalo face towards the storm, overcoming the challenges that approach them. It's a message of hope for our communities who are working hard to improve wellness and holistic balance with all my relations and each other." - Katira Crow Shoe, International Buffalo Relations Institute

Holistic health—what does that mean to you? For me, a lot of it has to do with finding that balance in my life which can be challenging most days. To live holistically we must care for all parts of ourselves and to do that successfully I believe it’s important to feel empowered when it comes to your health at whatever stage you are at on your journey. In this issue, Indigenous Healer Asha Frost shares a personal story where, at a disheartening moment in time at a doctor's office, she drew on the teachings of the Medicine Wheel and soon felt optimistic knowing deep down there was another answer. She reminds us, “We are all worthy of being seen in our wholeness.” Flip to page six to learn more.

On the cover of this issue is the Buffalo, a stunning image captured by photographer Johane Janelle and a timely representation of hope and revitalization. The return of the buffalo represents a positive step towards ecological and cultural renewal with the rebuilding of that relationship between buffalo and Indigenous Peoples for the health of future generations. SAY Magazine was pleased to speak with Katira Crow Shoe (quoted above) from the International Buffalo Relations Institute about the importance of buffalo and their influences on our holistic health. Make sure to check out the cover story for all the details including more beautiful photography of this keystone species.

I hope you feel encouraged on your wellness journey. Do what makes you happy and set some clear goals for personal empowerment: find movement you enjoy, make time for reflection, connect with nature, connect with others, eat well, get some sleep, and love deeply.

Thank you to those who have contributed their stories and expertise to this issue—I hope they inspire you as they have me.
