Indigenous Healing Gathering Brings Culture, Connection and Celebration

On March 8, 2025, the Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center came alive with the spirit of healing, culture, and community at TCC’s Indigenous Healing Gathering. This special event brought together TCC beneficiaries, traditional healers, Elders, and artisans for a day of connection, learning, and celebration.

From the opening prayer to the closing reflections, attendees experienced traditional healing through one-on-one sessions, talking circles, and plant medicine workshops. They learned from Indigenous healers, explored the benefits of plant medicine, and took part in Native arts and crafts. The event also featured the Dene’ Eslaanh Dance Group, highlighting the beauty and power of traditional song and dance.

One of the most meaningful moments was hearing wisdom shared by Elders, reminding us of the strength and resilience in our cultural roots. The event not only provided healing opportunities but also reinforced the importance of keeping traditions alive for future generations.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us in making this gathering a success! If you missed it and want to learn more about TCC’s Indigenous Healing Program, reach out to Mara Becker at mara.becker@tananachiefs.org. We look forward to gathering again!
