BLACKBIRD MEDICINES IS A PLANT AND LAND-BASED SPIRITUAL AND CULTURAL WELLNESS PRACTICE.
@blackbirdmedicines Over and over again, community members are harmed by people who are known to assault and traumatize. Simple measures like requiring police record checks for working with vulnerable people would prevent a lot of harm yet our powwow committees, community workshops, tourism events and more do not have these rules in place. Demand more for our youth and children, our vulnerable kin working to overcome addiction. They all deserve safety. #blackbirdhealingseries#indigenousharmreduction#safespaces♬ Voices Back - Tasheena Sarazin
