Central Interior Native Health Society - Cultural Services

Elder

The clinic strives to have an on staff Elder that retains lifelong knowledge in Traditional counselling and different methods of healing. They work with people using a combination of herbs, ceremony and prayer. They have learned from the Elders in their family and other Elders in various parts of the country.

The Aboriginal connection to the natural world provides the structure and approaches for healing. Most importantly, the traditional holistic way of being does not see the individual alone; or symptoms in isolation. Thus, the Elder incorporates; the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs: of the individual, the family, and the community. The Traditional way of healing is very complex and rich and difficult to explain within the linear and time ordered approaches of the Western medical practice.
