Excerpt: Indigenous knowledge systems provide a comprehensive, interconnected framework for understanding health, wellness, and resilience, particularly through the relationship with land. Colonization severed many of these relationships, leading to cultural, psychological, and physical trauma among Indigenous peoples. The process of neurodecolonization offers a way to heal these historical and ongoing traumas by re-integrating traditional practices—grounded in the land—with modern therapeutic techniques such as mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and intentional land-based healing.
