Yaari Toolie-Walker is a member of the Alaska-Native Yupik community, an activist, an educator, and a healer. Yaari is also a returning guest, and we highly encourage you to listen to our first conversation with her about the Yupik community, in episode 16 of Latitude Adjustment.
The topic of today’s conversation is shamanism, or spiritually-guided healing practices. It might surprise you to learn who is able to be a shaman, its relationship to conventional/Western healing practices, and how shamanism is thriving.
Be sure to visit the Alaska Native Heritage Center online, and even better, see it in person.
