As an Native American (Ute, Pueblo and Cahuilla), I have often sought to find healing in Native country from burning sage, to listening to drums, to having a medicine man bless me...the traditional westernized world hasn't healed me from the horrific experience I have had growing up as a female on the reservation...hope to find healing one day.
That was an amazing video. I have been following the Art Heals: The Jingle Dress Project for a while now. I stumbled upon my first Jingle Dress video on CZcams a few years ago. It was shot at a Pow Wow in 2017. The dance started with a single dancer in the middle of an arena surrounded by other Jingle Dress dancers along the edge of the arena. The drumming started and the single dancer started dancing. Then the other dancers joined in, circling the arena. It moved me to tears. These dancers were predominantly in red regalia, symbolizing the healing power for those affected by Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women. Thanks for bringing attention to this project and sharing the video.
All these pictures are worth thousands. May I say to you father that you are a good dad and you told your daughters the truth from the beginning and you raised your babies right.
That bit of Seneca ancestry I have from my American grandfather responds to the Jingle Dress dance. I feel the power and the healing. Thank you for this medicine.

Art does indeed heal, but word use changes can help healing as well. In the land I was born, we base someone's origin on ethnicity, rather than on skin colour. It's taken Aotearoa New Zealand many years to change, & evolve our form of english, to respect the genetic pathways, of all individuals. I once was one of the many, who chose, instead of 'European New Zealand' to 'Other: Jedi', to make a point. I even wrote on a local document, here in Switzerland, that I was an 'Aotearoan', rather than New Zealander, or British, something I feel more akin too, in my spiritual & emotional awakening... I believe there is now an option in NZ, to be called a New Zealand Pakeha... Maybe my awakening has developed, here, in an island nation in Europe, where it's the depth of cultural respect offered to ALL, no matter where they come from, when they choose to visit, or choose to reside, in this wonderful country: the oldest country in the World, according to United Nations records... Or my naïve understanding of them.
So much respect and gratitude for these people. If they only knew how much of want to learn from them and know them.
