With both deep critical inquiry and broad strokes, this volume probes cross cultural perspectives on brain and mind. Chapters span understandings, knowledge sharing, Two-Eyed Seeing, storytelling, caregiving, capacity-building, respecting, reflecting, communicating, and regulating. In a first ever volume of its kind, it links neurobiology with tradition, neuroscience with land, climate with the environment, older people with younger, and narratives with evidence.
