The purpose of this discussion guide is to foster humility and awareness among communities and
organizations of the Native perspectives on loss, grief, mourning, and bereavement. This guide does not explain specific ceremonial rituals. It provides information on the cultural strengths of Native communities, raises awareness of the unique challenges Native people may face while grieving, and provides discussion points for what support Native people who are mourning may need.
