Health, Medicines & Trust
Exploring the hidden Indigenous origins of modern medicines and how acknowledgement can strengthen relationships between Indigenous communities and healthcare providers.
Chris Kavelin works with universities, healthcare organisations, corporations and governments to reveal the Indigenous origins of medicines, strengthen relationships through acknowledgement, and navigate emerging questions of research integrity, innovation and global benefit sharing.
Hidden histories. Practical applications. Ethical futures.
Chris speaks with Marc Fennell about Aboriginal knowledge, Duboisia/corkwood, D-Day, gratitude, rematriation, and the hidden Indigenous origins of modern medicines.
For organisations, these stories are not only history. They can change conversations about trust, research integrity, innovation, intellectual property and partnership.
Each engagement can be shaped as a keynote, workshop, university seminar, executive briefing, strategic facilitation session, or longer-term advisory collaboration.
