I share this link to several hour long webinars from the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) on the expression of language as a vehicle towards not only cultural preservation, but to wellness and healing as well. These were forwarded to me through one of my colleagues at work, and it really goes along with my topic of Indigenous nursing students and the relationship between the current health care system and Indigenous peoples. The length of the videos can be a little daunting, as some are over 1 hour in length, but they clearly demonstrate the need to preserve culture, language and Indigenous ways of knowing as a path to wellness, using modern technology to disseminate the teaching to as broad an audience as possible. This was shared in the context of health care, but can apply to many different areas of interest.
