My First Nations students this term were highly critical of the uncritical
descriptions of First Nations highly situated culturally distinct spiritual
practices as described in the historical record of Mary Ellen Kelm's
(University of Northern British Columbia) "Colonizing Bodies: Aboriginal
Health and healing in British Columbia 1900-1950."(1998/UBC Press)

The limerance that is created by voodoo/"witchcraft" practices is an
interesting space that needs a postcolonial interrogation in relationship
to the colonization of the body/spirit...
