Topic: Wealth Western Worldview Within a Euro/Western worldview wealth is understood and communicated by how much someone possesses (invokes notions of ownership and is self focused). Indigenous Worldview (as understood from the traditional teachings I received as well as pan-Indigenous Academic Literature). Wealth is understood and communicated through how much one is able to give away and contribute to one's community. This frame of mind prioritizes community over the individual while still valuing that individual as an independent living being that is interconnected with all other living things. It is understood that helping others, even if not returned directly by the same individual, will benefit the person that is giving/helping. #indigenization #indigenoussoveriegnty #indigenousknowledgeinformedsocialworkpraxisandpedagogy #indigenous #ojibwaysocialworker #ojibway #ojibwe #cree #firstnations #aboriginal #socialwork #ryersonstudent #ryerson #ryersonsocialwork #nativepride #honourthetreaties #indigenousknowledge #indigenousmethodology #holistichealth #holisticapproaches #mentalhealthandaddictions #mentalphysicalsprititualemotional #mhealth #healingjourney #antioppressivepractice #anticolonialism #postcolonialism #toronto #traditionalknowledge (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BowlGd4nBcy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=njt7vuz22sqn
