James Gordon, MD’s latest conversation, “Marrying Indigenous Wisdom with Mind-Body Medicine” with CMBM Faculty Member, Linda Eagle Speaker, is now available on KZbin.
Linda is a seventh generation Blackfeet Ceremonial Herbalist who as a child was devastated by her experience in boarding schools. Calling on her own inner-strength as well as on the wisdom of her people, she has dedicated her life to healing and serving the most traumatized and troubled members of the Indigenous community, including girls and women who have been trafficked. Linda, whose traditional given name is Holy Medicine Shining Woman, was a senior staff member of the Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center for over 15 years. She has been a guiding force in bringing CMBM’s work to Indigenous communities in cities as well as on reservations.
Together, they explore the connection between Indigenous healing practices and mind-body medicine. They discuss the ways in which the CMBM program has encouraged her and many others in the Indigenous community to fully express themselves and to live the lessons of their long and wise tradition.
