“so addiction’s about finding the right medicine, not just kicking it?”

kihtehayah (Elder) and author Wiisug Richard Wright joins Dr. Fellner to discuss Indigenous understandings of addiction. They explore the spiritual relationships that underpin addiction, and how restoring balance through honouring natural law can offer healing and recovery. Instead of focusing on "kicking" addiction, they discuss the process of turning toward the "right medicines"—the practices and people that promote vitality and individual, collective, and generational wellness.
