The Special Gift of Walking Two Paths: Indigenous and Catholic by Elder Rosella Kinoshameg

Rosella is a deeply respected Odawa/Ojibway Elder from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory on Manitoulin Island, Ontario. She and her husband, Jim, have been married for 55 years; they have 5 children, 7 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.

She has degrees in nursing and has been a nurse, teacher, administrator in the health care profession for over 52 years. She has integrated Indigenous methods of healing into her practice and has been a leading voice on the work of palliative care. She is active in her parish as a catechist (Catechesis of the Good Shepherd), liturgist, musician and member of the Diocesan Order of Service (ministry very similar to a permanent deacon) for the Sault Diocese. She has been involved with the Anishinabe Spiritual Centre for decades and is a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Circle of the Canadian Catholic Conference of Bishops.
