National article on Rose Domnick of Bethel, AK -- brilliant Yup'ik trauma prevention and healing expert

Laura Norton-Cruz 3/28/1611:45 AM

"[Domnick] owes her progress to learning traditional Yup’ik ways of healing and dealing with life. 'Our ancestors gave us tools to navigate through the tough times of life. They taught us to take bad experiences and turn them inside out, examine them, talk about them and understand how they have affected us.'

In her work with Calricaraq, she and her team help guide others through this process and gain more insight into their own lives. 'We are also finding that our elders are recalling old unused Yup’ik terminology that describes these tools for living and healing,' she says."
