Describing the background, meaning, and purpose of the Warrior Spirit Movement. and collective efforts, this chapter will recount how a group of both Indigenous and Anglo-Americans are drawing upon Indigenous Wisdom of Native Elders from many generations to create a movement that recognizes and implements a combination of relevant trauma science and ago-old Indigenous traditional healing practices into a model of holistic healing which addresses historical and present-day trauma.
The Warrior Spirit Movement views historical trauma as the symptom and Warrior Spirit as the remedy (Igniting the Warrior Spirit, 2020).
