Animals in Indigenous Spiritualities: Implications for Critical Social Work

Asserts that spirituality is central to Aboriginal approaches to social work and discusses four aspects of the relevance of other-than-human animals in spirituality: as part of kinship systems, sources of wisdom and protection, ceremonial significance and historical importance. Considers the Judeo-Christian focus of most scholarship on spirituality in social work and calls for a more decolonial, anti-oppressive practice.
