WAM 2010 - Native American Healing - The Lakota & Shamanic Traditions


Credit(s): 1

This course will introduce students to Native American healing beliefs, technologies and practices through insight into Lakota traditions.  American allopathic healing uses drugs and surgery to treat illness.  Native American healing uses the metaphorical power of story, sacred relationships to animals and the land, and rituals such as healing circles where people share their collective stories of illness, to help people find their own way to healing.  Students will have the opportunity to observe or participate in a traditional Native American Sweatlodge Ceremony.

Offering Location: Johnson Campus
