Resumen

This article explores two deeply personal journeys into cultural identity, ancestral healing, and the reclamation of Indigenous knowledge systems. The first narrative introduces the concept of the "Edgewalker," a person navigating multiple cultural influences while challenging societal labels such as “shamanic healer.” It reflects on the complexities of language, cultural appropriation, and the need for respectful engagement with Indigenous traditions. The second narrative focuses on reconnecting with Sami and Anishnabe healing practices, questioning inherited norms and uncovering hidden ancestral knowledge. Both stories emphasize the importance of sacred knowledge, medicinal plants, and language in shaping identity and healing. Together, they offer a reflective critique of mainstream perceptions while honoring the role of personal agency and cultural heritage in the healing journey.
