The arts of Indigenous health and well-being

https://archives.whyte.org/en/permalink/catalogue25714

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Published Date: 2021

Publisher: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada : University of Manitoba Press

Call Number: 07.2 S9t

Responsibility: Edited by Nancy Van Styvendale, J. D. McDougall, Robert Henry, and Robert Alexander Innes

Publisher: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada : University of Manitoba Press

Published Date: 2021

Physical Description: 272 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Indigenous; Indigenous Culture; Indigenous Traditions; Indigenous Peoples; Health; Oral History; Medicine

Abstract: Drawing attention to the ways in which creative practices are essential to the health, well-being, and healing of Indigenous peoples, The Arts of Indigenous Health and Well-Being addresses the effects of artistic endeavour on the "good life", or mino-pimatisiwin in Cree, which can be described as the balanced interconnection of physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being. In this interdisciplinary collection, Indigenous knowledges inform an approach to health as a wider set of relations that are central to well-being, wherein artistic expression furthers cultural continuity and resilience, community connection, and kinship to push back against forces of fracture and disruption imposed by colonialism. The need for healing--not only individuals but health systems and practices--is clear, especially as the trauma of colonialism is continually revealed and perpetuated within health systems. The field of Indigenous health has recently begun to recognize the fundamental connection between creative expression and well-being. This book brings together scholarship by humanities scholars, social scientists, artists, and those holding experiential knowledge from across Turtle Island to add urgently needed perspectives to this conversation. Contributors embrace a diverse range of research methods, including community-engaged scholarship with Indigenous youth, artists, Elders, and language keepers. The Arts of Indigenous Health and Well-Being demonstrates the healing possibilities of Indigenous works of art, literature, film, and music from a diversity of Indigenous peoples and arts traditions. This book will resonate with health practitioners, community members, and any who recognize the power of art as a window, an entryway to access a healthy and good life. -- Provided by publisher.
