The answer is absolutely yes, and not just in indigenous communities. I think the reciprocity in the reconciliation space is allowing us to export simple practices, like men sitting in a circle with each other creating the safety to be able to talk through the healing and to support each other through peer support and peer accountability. Culture is absolutely paramount in indigenous communities, and I think it creates a level of encouragement in non-indigenous communities.
That's important for me because there's a spiritual component inside indigenous culture. The scourge of sexualized violence against children in this country and the unhealed trauma that adults are carrying as a result of having suffered sexualized violence causes spiritual trauma. So many people in our own communities have that as part of our story.
Culture helps, I think, with the healing we need so that our behaviour changes. The way culture supports and enables that is that there is a spiritual component. We have some spiritual healing to do if we're going to reach for our higher selves.
