DescriptionThe men and women who fight our society’s wars pay a high psychological cost. Levels of mental illness, homelessness, and domestic violence are high, and in 2014 veterans accounted for 18 percent of all deaths by suicide. Clearly this is a significant problem, not just for the veterans and their families, but for society as a whole. This paper examines whether, in caring for veterans, modern medicine can take any lessons from traditional Native American healing methods, in particular in the use of story and ceremony. It explores the concept of moral injury, the historical place of Native American healing, and its significant but often unacknowledged and overlooked contribution to modern medicine. It goes on to examine the way in which story and ceremony are linked, and at the power of story, and addresses the subject of healing the warrior, and the steps which are necessary in order to do this. Finally it touches on the role of story in the modern world, and on the importance of involving the entire community in healing the warrior’s soul
