The session will examine the wellness wheels as a holistic approach to life and work. This will lead to integrating Alaska Native Traditional values as they pertain to academic, professional and personal experiences in modern life. The framework of the way of life will identify ways of healing and wellness as a critical concept through different worldviews as one adapts and adjusts through embracing ancestral healing and wellness rights passed on by elders and ancestors through resiliency through Alaska Native language and/or culture.
