"It is necessary that we as a culture turn to you for healing, because the healing principles embedded in your traditions and your culture are so much wiser and connected"
Dr. Gabor Maté
The Vision
This is more than a story about sovereignty or using traditional medicines. This is a movement of healing for our communities. Standing together, reclaiming authority and responsibility as citizens of the earth, creating peace and respect for ourselves, each other and this place we call home.

Dr. Gabor Maté
After 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, Dr. Maté worked for over a decade in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness. Dr. Maté is the bestselling author of four books published in over thirty languages, and an internationally renowned speaker highly sought after for his expertise on addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the relationship of stress and illness.
