Inupiat Healing Practices

Inupiat healing practices integrate spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being, deeply rooted in their cultural traditions. They often involve ceremonies, storytelling, and connection to the land to restore balance and harmony. Healing may include involving elders, shamans, or spiritual guides who facilitate rituals to address ailments, both physical and psychological. Emphasis is placed on community support, respecting nature, and ancestral wisdom, viewing health as a holistic state achieved through spiritual alignment and cultural continuity. These practices reinforce identity and resilience while promoting healing within the context of Inupiat values.
