Bassett & Avalos/IRT5M, 61. What role does healing play in Native American and Indigenous religious traditions? Or, what's religious about health and healing in Indigenous religious traditions?

Discusses the relationship between Indigenous religious traditions and healing, asking first what we mean by healing. This is important because there is a big difference between curing and healing, between disease and illness. How illnesses are experienced and what it means to be healthy are culturally specific and so will vary by community.
