Meet Our Traditional Wellness Team

Sarah Stevenson

In this role, I am passionate about working with plant medicine and food, honoring the land, and integrating ceremony into daily life. I look to many of our Elders and Knowledge Keepers for guidance or grounding and attempt to both share and model these teachings in my personal and professional life. 

Kajan Jaad (Delevina Lawrence)

Delevina did the Indigenous Tools for Living Training which will aid her in providing land-based support to the community. She really enjoys working with Women’s programs and accompanying women on healing journeys. She enjoys helping her community as well.

Kil Tlaasga (Brodie Swanson)

What stands out most in this role, is the importance of connecting to our Xaadaa cultural values. Connecting our community to these traditional values is imperative to our Indigenous way of being. To engage with our community members in programs tailored to promote cultural teachings is the main objective within my role. Presenting these opportunities in a safe, non-biased, culturally enriching environment is another equally important aspect of being on the Traditional Wellness Team. I look forward to connecting with our youth, my peers, and our elders in building relationships to strengthen our connections to our ancestral ways of life.
