Indigenous Mindfulness As An Intervention Tool For Native American Youth

May 2022

Recording from Red Wind Consulting, Inc.

“Teaching mindfulness methods as an intervention for the negative trauma in our children’s lives is a meaningful and strength-based approach to healing that is both effective and sustainable. A child who practices mindfulness is more aware of their immediate environment and more decisive in their response. According to Michael YellowBird’s research on Neuro Decolonization and Indigenous Mindfulness, “Indigenous and Tribal Peoples have a long and essential history of engaging in contemplative and mindfulness practices in daily and ceremonial life” (YellowBird, 2021).”
