"You Want to Heal Me? Give Me Back My Dignity"

This clip reframes healing as inseparable from dignity — and dignity as inseparable from decolonization and Indigenous sovereignty. Dignity is relationships, knowing where you come from, understanding your responsibilities, knowing when to speak and when not to. Dignity is silence. Dignity is vanua. Dignity is health. A powerful closing articulation of what genuine healing asks for, at the level of a people, not just a person.
