Yes, my experience has been with men.
When you grow up in an urban centre you're more removed from the cultural connection. I think that's where healing lodges come into play. They're very important, because they help a person, especially a person growing up in an urban centre, reconnect with their culture and with the traditional value system, as they work with indigenous elders. It is here that they have a very important role to play: in helping these men and women to reconnect with their culture, revitalize themselves spiritually, revitalize their culture. I think that's the very important role that we play.
