As the Snowgeese Fly: Metis Voices and Land-Based Wellness By: Shaun Hains

A Chapter within

LIFE COURSE, MISSIVE, and Methodology

Edited By: Erin Gurr & Catherine Richardson, PhD

Step into a book that treats wellness as a living story, carried in relations rather than reduced to metrics. The book moves between missives (letters), story, and methodology to follow wellness across the life course, showing how kinship, land, language, ceremony, and systems shape what “mental health” can mean. Inside, you hear a chorus of perspectives: Indigenous scholars, helpers, community voices, and reflexive practitioners writing in direct address as much as in academic prose. Rather than extract-and-measure, it centers relationship: consent, reciprocity, and responsibility to community and Indigenous self-determination. Open it when you’re ready to trade the checklist for the circle and let your work become a good relation.
