Anishinaabe Psychology

Anishinaabe psychology emphasizes harmony with nature, community, and spiritual traditions, viewing well-being as interconnected with balance among mind, body, spirit, and environment. It recognizes that individual health is rooted in relationships, shared history, and cultural practices, fostering resilience and collective identity. This perspective values storytelling, ceremonies, and teachings as vital to understanding oneself and maintaining societal harmony. Unlike Western individualism, Anishinaabe psychology sees health as a collective, relational process, promoting holistic wellness rooted in cultural values and a deep connection to the land and ancestors.
