The Healing Power of Songs

 

At the Prince Albert Elders' Gathering hosted by First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv) in March 2020, Florence Allen from Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation shared her knowledge about and sang a Healing Song and the Grandmother Song. She discusses how she came to know these songs and the power that songs have in healing and life transitions – an important reminder of our connection with the spirit world.
