Back in the day when I was in a nursing program, they asked what we wanted for our practicums. When I said I wanted anything to do with First Nations people in any way, I was told "Forget it, it's never gonna happen!". I wish there had been a clinic like this to go to.

Come for a long way. Pioneer, finally. Time have changed. Thank you for sharing. Similarly, Iooking back in history during April 20, 1973. My late father's friend Dr Lok Yee Kung from Hong Kong in Nevada USA made history. He was the first Licensed Acupuncturist in Nevada. Great history of Holistic medicine. April 2022 Governor of Arizona signed in legislation that " Acupuncture is a form of medicine.) . Finally that day happened and the first state in USA recognized Acupunturist's work and Acupuncture is a form of medicine.

Such a wonderful and exciting idea! The best of both worlds to help with the increase of chronic disease in First Nations people.

I don't understand how a vicious criminal who lets and helps her boyfriend rape an 8yr girl then brutally murdered her by kicking and bashing in her head with a hammer. Goes to jail and ends up with spa treatment!
