Ep. 47 Land, Culture & Healing: Indigenous Wellness in ENGO Leadership

The Capacity Building Institute concludes its long-standing, Capacity-Building Webinar Series with a powerful and reflective conversation centred on Indigenous wellness, land, and culture. In this final episode, host Sam Laprade is joined by Launa Payne and Sherrelle Anderson, Co-Founders of Rise Up Indigenous Wellness, for an interview-style discussion on how environmental and grassroots non-profit organizations can thoughtfully and respectfully integrate Indigenous teachings into their organizational culture and programming.
