Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): How Our Communities Have Adapted to Adversity & Trauma

In this episode, we highlight that much of the emerging knowledge from Western ways of knowing has confirmed what many of our tribal communities have known since time immemorial – that our traditional ways of knowing and being hold much wisdom for all of us.  Taking care of our babies has been a core lesson in traditional wisdom for us as a people. We look to the intersections of these understandings to discover lessons on our pathway forward to a new story, that will help us to continue to overcome the current day challenges for a brighter and more hopeful future.
