Building Wókpȟaŋ Kits: Traditional Medicines & 988 Awareness
GPTLHB
We will be creating Wókpȟan kits—traditional medicine bags that include
items such as an abalone shell, northern sage, flat cedar, sweetgrass,
čhaŋšáša (cansasa), bitter root, bear root, matches, a brochure, and 988
educational materials.
During this activity, participants will learn how these traditional medicines
support healing, alongside shared cultural teachings. We will also
provide education on facts and myths related to the 988 Suicide & Crisis
Lifeline. This activity highlights how cultural practices are incorporated
and promoted as an important part of the healing process.
