Stories, teachings, and conversations about healing, land, and community.

The Medicine Way

Each episode centers on Indigenous voices and everyday medicines, weaving together tradition, ceremony, and contemporary life.

About Walking The Medicine Way

Medicine Way is more than a podcast—it’s a journey. Guided by ancestral teachings, our hosts bring together knowledge keepers, storytellers, and community voices to share reflections on healing, kinship, and living in balance with the land.

Through storytelling, ceremony, and dialogue, we honor matriarch wisdom, support language revitalization, and explore the ways community care creates strong, thriving futures.
