Red Medicine
Book •
Red Medicine explores Indigenous spirituality, healing, mythology, and cultural knowledge through an explicitly Native feminist perspective.

The book challenges Western separations between religion, art, identity, and political action.
It emphasizes the continuing importance of Indigenous women, ceremonial traditions, ancestral memory, and relationships with the natural world.
In the podcast, the book is invoked to explain how an individual’s “medicine” may emerge from wounds and become a source of healing for others.
