Dr Kokayi is joined by a culture carrier of the Native American people, Frank Menusan, who shares how his reintegration into his own cultural path has aided himself as well as others. Highlighted in this program is the fact that modern medicine’s suppression of other cultural streams of healing decreases the possibilities for healing to take place in those people who need medicine that comes out of these cultural technologies. The Native American journey has been particularly difficult when you consider that the Freedom of Religion Act for Native Americans was only passed in 1978. Frank Menusan clears up misconceptions about “dream catchers†and shares other Native American healing technologies.

Dr Kokayi is once again joined by Dr Malidoma Some as part of the fundraising activity of WBAI. Dr Some once more, in his authentic voice, describes the indigenous world view as it relates to a different perspective on health care and healing. Dr Some’s description of African cosmology reveals how people were taken care of in the context of a set of beliefs and practices that both sustained them and their environment. The premium offered is Dr Some’s The Healing Wisdom of Africa. The indigenous perspective is so important at present as Americans as a whole begin to grapple with the reality of how our lifestyle is impacting on the environment and the inevitable changes that are taking place. As we prepare to adapt and adjust to a “new” earth we must consider the wisdom of those that have come before us.
