A medida que Canadá avanza en su camino hacia la verdad y la reconciliación, las enseñanzas espirituales Indígenas están ganando reconocimiento como componentes valiosos en los programas educativos. Un artículo de The Conversation, un medio de noticias independiente y sin fines de lucro, destaca cómo la integración del conocimiento y la espiritualidad Indígena en la educación puede fomentar un ambiente de aprendizaje más inclusivo y respetuoso (The Conversation, 2023).
El tambor es un elemento espiritual, ceremonial y tradicional importante en muchas comunidades indígenas.
He trabajado como psicólogo e investigador en todo el país Indígena durante los últimos 15 años. En estos años de profesión, he visto como los pueblos Indígenas de los llamados “Estados Unidos” demuestran una notable capacidad de recuperación, incluso al registrar altos índices de angustia psicológica por los impactos de la colonización y la desposesión.
Hace dos años cuando me enteré de que la artista nigeriana de gospel Gloria Doyle había abandonado el cristianismo para convertirse en sacerdotisa de Ifá, la llamé rápidamente y le pedí una entrevista.
As Canada continues its journey toward truth and reconciliation, Indigenous spiritual teachings are gaining recognition as valuable components of school curricula.
Art can translate the invisible, taking us to places where words do not always reach. These illustrations invite you to contemplate the world from a spiritual dimension inspired by Indigenous wisdom: the moon as a guide and the third eye as a door to intangible realities.
The drum is an important spiritual, ceremonial, and traditional item in many Indigenous communities.
My mornings are very predictable. I wake up before sunrise even if I do not entirely want to. I claim to be a morning person but my body strongly resists the idea. In the last few years, getting out of bed has become literally painful with my limbs often disobeying my brain’s command for motion.
As a psychologist and researcher working across Indian country for the past 15 years, notwithstanding significant historical trauma and ongoing systemic challenges, Indigenous people in the so-called “United States” demonstrate remarkable resilience, often drawing strength from their deep connection to land, culture, community, and spiritual practices, even while reporting high rates of psychological distress due to the impacts of colonization and dispossession.
Two years ago, when I heard that the Nigerian gospel artist Gloria Doyle had left Christianity to become an Ifá priestess, I quickly called her and requested an interview. During the interview, Doyle said, “God told me there is a better way for me to connect to him . . . You do not need to go through the pastors to see God, but if religion is warm, you feel your inner peace when practicing it. I cannot leave a place where I find peace to a place where there is war and bitterness; you stick there where you find peace.”
