The Turtle Island Journal of Indigenous Health (TIJIH) began in an effort to prioritize Indigenous voices within western academic environments, which often serve to silence Indigenous ways of being and knowing. We have shared previously about these aims and we encourage you to look to these for more information (Monteith & Tan, 2020; Turtle Island Journal of Indigenous Health, 2020). Since the release of our second issue in 2021, our team has had considerable turnover as members move to continue important work in related areas. We feel immense joy for their contributions and continued relationships. We are also excited for the new faces that have joined our team and look to our community as we continue to build our vision of highlighting Indigenous perspectives and voices within academic peer-reviewed literature.
龟岛原住民健康期刊》（TIJIH）创办的初衷是在西方学术环境中优先考虑原住民的声音，因为西方学术环境往往会压制原住民的存在和认知方式。我们以前曾分享过这些目标，我们鼓励您从这些目标中获取更多信息（Monteith & Tan, 2020; Turtle Island Journal of Indigenous Health, 2020）。自 2021 年第二期杂志发行以来，我们的团队有了相当大的变动，因为成员们将继续在相关领域开展重要工作。我们为他们的贡献和持续的关系感到无比欣慰。我们也为加入我们团队的新面孔感到兴奋，并期待着我们的社区继续建设我们的愿景，在同行评审的学术文献中突出原住民的观点和声音。

Wearing, or operationalizing, cultural teachings during this time of a global pandemic is crucial to Indigenous spiritual health and overall well-being. The Big Sickness has impacted collective spiritual practices and gatherings. It has prevented us from being present with family and community members in times of illness, disrupting our caretaking responsibilities, and our assistance with and witnessing of death. Yet, public health restrictions have also provided opportunity for biskaabiiyang: physical isolation has catalyzed a pause in our collective and personal day-to-day lives, and has provided opportunity for us to turn inward, reflect, and to return to ourselves and ways of knowing. This article shares foundational teachings of the Anishinaabe People; teachings that guide us in the living and dying of mno bemaadiziiwin, the Good Life. These teachings situate the life and death journey of Anishinaabe persons within the Anishinaabe cosmos, and articulate our practices of relationality, responsibilities, and ways of knowing that are essential to this journey. Biskaabiiyang, returning to ourselves, with agency and wearing our teachings can support individual resilience and survival.

Colonialism disconnects Indigenous peoples from their Ancestral lands and waters, which significantly impacts Indigenous Peoples’ spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental wellness (Adelson, 2005; Richmond & Ross, 2009). In Canada, the settler state has designed legal and jurisdictional barriers that continue to restrict access to land and prevent land from being returned to Indigenous Peoples, thereby ensuring Indigenous Peoples’ wellness remains vulnerable to the effects of colonialism (Kim, 2019; Tomiak, 2017). I wrote this poem as an expression of my personal attempts to re-establish a meaningful, reciprocal connection with Land as a mixed-ancestry Algonquin Anishinaabe ikwe with roots in Mattawa/North Bay and community within Katarokwi (greater Kingston, Ontario). Despite the imposed barriers of colonialism, Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island are seeking out ways to reclaim Indigenous lands, connect with Mother Earth, and support their overall wellness.

As a creative endeavour spurred on by the Natural Resources and the Environment from Indigenous Perspectives course in the Masters of Indigenous Relations program at Laurentian University, the story glimpses at life from the perspective of sweetgrass. Beginning life in fields of green, the story tells of the life of sweetgrass from its humble beginnings, the relationships it forms with the spirits that surround it, and the aspirations for a purposeful life that aims to be of service to others. With a focus on kindness and healing, the story and the subsequent poem look to a future that ventures to care for the earth and for others in a holistic way.

Nursing scholarship and practice has been historically complicit in the (re)production of racial inequities by not acknowledging and countering their part in the legacy of colonization . This paper will discuss the implementation of an experiential transformative learning project, RéconciliACTION, grounded in critical social justice theory. Four elements – testimonial authority, experiential learning, reciprocity, and relationality - can be implemented in nursing education that value lived experience to create change toward address anti-Indigenous racism in educational settings and health institutions. Lessons from the RéconciliACTION Project reinforce the need to increase nursing educators' knowledge of such methods and practices. Essential to this process is the recognition of lived experience as knowledge via Testimonial Authority. The process of transformation begins with the integration of anti-racist practices and Indigenous content. This project seeks to create leaders and allies in the journey towards reconciliation, reducing anti-racist attitudes and practices in educational and medical facilities

Community engagement processes conducted with the Northern Village of Pinehouse determined the need for an evaluation of the Recovery Lake Program (RLP). The study exemplifies a collaborative process of sharing experiences and stories, inclusive of key informants from varied backgrounds and expertise, affording the opportunity to weave together Indigenous knowledge, research and policy expertise in a voluntary, non-hierarchical context. The stories shared throughout the interviews offer wisdom that will inform the realignment and direction of growth of some of the facilities and programs offered by the RLP. Through these stories, themes that highlight good practices, positive components and several gaps in the program emerge. Finally, the article includes recommendations for improving the RLP’s treatment and post-program support needs for their clients.

Using an anthropomorphic approach, a narrative is established from the perspective of Eastern White Cedar, to embody the spirit of the animate being. The characteristics of cedar are visualized through a meditative script. The contemplative prose aspires for a harmonic and peaceful experience that elevates an understanding of the cedar's relations, integral connections, and its surrounding environment. The responsibilities and functions of the cedar's relationships and interconnections, as well as its surroundings, are introduced, including the value of a symbiotic interaction among organisms. The goals and fears of the sacred medicine are identified.

Often time’s knowledge of plants is told from a human perspective and not the plants. The limited stories of plants from an attempt to share from their perspective reveal the need to learn more about how to do this in a way that respects the plant and shares their story. To help share the plant prospective students were asked to gather information on a medicine (Cedar, tobacco, sweetgrass, or sage) and share a story from the plant's perspective. The purpose of this paper will be to describe a narrative from the perspective of Giizik (Cedar) and I will use story work and more specifically will tailor it to a child and youth perspective. A benefit of Indigenous story work is it can become a useful method in the translation and dissemination of knowledge (Drawson, Toombs & Mushquash, 2017)
