Additional Information

My family does a lot of cultural activities with elders and a support group that my late husband created with an elder such as land-based healing, rites of passage, and other ceremonies done with youth and especially adults that require help with health and healing for the good life. Still, we have a long way to go with our community and other surrounding communities. Education is the Key! Language and Culture is the Key! Aguda.
