A new paper calls on Western scientists to include Indigenous voices when researching psychedelics.
offer psychedelic therapy often charge thousands of dollars for experiences thatIndigenous traditions yet share few benefits with these often impoverished communities.
Q: Your paper recommends referencing reverence for Mother Nature and relationality with the natural world in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Western scientists may be wary of such paradigms that typically exist outside their vision of science. How would you respond? Western science is one lens of understanding the world. We Indigenous peoples also have a science that is another way of understanding the world.
Q: Your paper offers guidelines for building respectful relationships between Indigenous peoples and Western researchers or practitioners. How does that process begin? Lakota physician Dr. Donald Warne says, “To get to equity, we have to walk through truth.” A good first step is to walk through that truth on your own instead of expecting Indigenous people to teach you. Establish an understanding of the harms of colonization and its impacts from Indigenous viewpoints.
Q: Relationship building takes time. Are there ways to simultaneously reduce the harms happening now in psychedelic-assisted therapy? One step is to host a series of Indigenous-run discussions at community levels in different places asking this question, because the answer should come from communities. Because there’s such a diversity among Indigenous peoples worldwide, one of the dangers of saying “do this or that” is that it’s not attuned to [local] contextual factors.
