    In this episode, Dr. Stead asks us to consider the idea of being a Wounded Storyteller. He compares writer Arthur Frank’s objectives for being and coping with wounded story identity to the Ramapough's long history of being marginalized, demonized, and contaminated by industry. He suggests that it is their indigenous roots that give them the strength to sustain and to recover both their health and their identity.
