College Heights Church’s Indigenous Connection Series Highlights Common Ground

At first glance, the colourful regalia on the table inspired awe and thoughts of distinct differences, but by the end of the evening, the presentation by MANS alumnus Joshua Saddleback and his partner Dakotah Pratt had attendees nodding in appreciation of the message of their pursuit of healthful living modeled on traditional principles also shared by Adventists in cultivating balance by tending to mental, physical, spiritual and social/psychological health.

“I’m the last person who would stand up and say I know everything about these topics,” said Dakotah, who is majoring in education at the University of Alberta, “but I think it’s good to share so we can understand and learn from each other.”
