The End of Life Is an Auspicious Opportunity for Healing: Decolonizing Death and Dying for Urban Indigenous People

Author critiques the colonial framing of death and dying as a medical event; argues for using the teachings contained in the Medicine Wheel and the Two Row Wampum as way to restore respect, balance, and spirit, and view death as an interconnected part of life, community, and culture.
