Drawing attention to the ways in which creative practices are essential to the health, well-being, and healing of Indigenous peoples, this book addresses the effects of artistic endeavour on the â??good lifeâ??, or mino-pimatisiwin in Cree, which can be described as the balanced interconnection of physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being.

The Arts of Indigenous Health and Well-Being demonstrates the healing possibilities of Indigenous works of art, literature, film, and music from a diversity of Indigenous peoples and arts traditions.
