The Essence of Healing Course was developed in cooperation with nurses from four American Indian Nations that share geography with the state of North Dakota.

• MHA Nation: Mandan, Hidatsa and Sahnish (Three Affiliated Tribes)
• Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa

• MniWakan Oyate (Spirit Lake Nation)

These individuals tell how their life stories have led to practices that embrace their values, traditions and medical science to create a holistic approach to care and healing.
