dc.description.abstractThis capstone explores the use of group circle for people of mixed Indigenous and European ancestry seeking to reconnect with their culture and heal their ancestral roots through Etuaptmumk (two-eyed seeing). The literature review provides information on how cultural disconnection has occurred over generations including the history and trauma experienced by Indigenous peoples, impacts of colonialism and marginalization, the blood quantum, lateral violence, and factors associated with having intersecting identities. Findings suggest that the impacts of colonialism and marginalization of Indigenous peoples is ongoing, and there continues to be complexities when navigating people with intersecting identities. The literature review also explores the importance of cultural competency in counselling, as well as how Indigenous traditional practices have contributed to healing for Indigenous people. The final chapter then provides a framework on forming a group circle for people of mixed ancestral roots using the lens of Etuaptmumk and integrating Indigenous traditional practices with cultural respect.
