“Our land has medicine. The earth wants to heal you, to make you strong, to support you . . .”

… Our medicine men used to walk around and get that medicine from the earth so they could heal others. The world is very hard and will take your medicine, that energy from you. If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, go home and get that healing, revival. When I am out in the world, it gets exhausting, so going back home is a huge way for me to replenish. Always maintain a connection to your community.”

~Dr. Jessica Metcalfe, from Matika Wilbur’s book Project 562: Changing the Way We See Native America
