The Red Road to Wellbriety, In the Native American Way by White Bison, Inc. “If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything” -Mark Twain

Easter Bingo on April 1 at the Xaxli’p Hall 4pm (sharp). Come out have some fun and win some great prizes. If you need a ride call a day a head of time, for more info call Shonna at 256-4800 Page 2

Preface The Red Road to Wellbriety is a journey of hope and healing for Native Americans seeking recovery from addictions. This is our book to read, to use, and to study as we take our own Red Road journey to sobriety and Wellbriety in a spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical way. The Red Road to Wellbriety is a journey of hope and healing for Native Americans seeking recovery from addictions. In this book you will find teaching chapters that provide words of learning about the “Mind Changers” (alcohol and drugs) as they affect our Native people. You will also find many personal recovery stories from Native people who have found sobriety and who are taking the further journey to Wellbriety—to be both sober and well. What is this new word Wellbriety? We translated it from and Indian word which means a balanced

being, a balanced warrior with both a developed male and female side, strongly connected to the principles, laws and values of the universe, someone who walks the Red Road. This Red Road to Wellbriety draws on the philosophies and practices of Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous—especially the Twelve Step process. Native Elders say that the Twelve Steps originally compiled by Alcoholics Anonymous have much in common with traditional Native ways—especially if they are viewed in a circle. But where have we come from and where are we going? Our Native people, families, and those who are different suffered immeasurable loss of life, land, resources, and culture as the European influence started to eradicate our tribal

lives. Included in their treatment of indigenous groups was genocide, residential schools, reservations, forced assimilation, and the outlawing of cultural practice, such as language, spiritual expression and customs. We were left with helplessness, hopelessness, sadness, despair, shame and anger. As taught by our Elders, the time would come for us to awaken from our long sleep and search again for the teachings of the Creator through which we would find healing, wisdom, and power. Not power over others, but power over our greatest enemy, ourselves. Many Native people are seeking Submitted by Barb Marchand Addictions Counselor

From the Desk of Amanda Porter Hello Xaxli’p community members! March was Nutrition Month. Did you know that it is recommended that you eat at least one dark green and one orange vegetable a day? This information and other recommendations for nutritional intake can be found in the Canada Food Guide. There is also a First Nations, Inuit and Metis version of the food guide available which incorporates foods such as bannock and wild meats.

Both food guides can also be found online at www.healthcanada.gc.ca/ foodguide . Other good resources for nutritional information are www.dieticians.ca and www.nutrition2009.ca.

Submitted by Susie Saul I would like to express my opinions how the alcohol and drugs is having an effect on our people, it is so sad to see this happening with our people, especially the ones we love and who are family. I feel so hopeless when I see the alcohol abuse and having to rush to the hospital with so much fear in my heart for family members. I try my best to express my concern and let family members know I care what happens to them and I see what the alcohol is doing to them and how much this hurts me to see this happening. I have been beside family member’s bedside on their last days and this is so heart breaking and a helpless feeling watching a loved one die. I pray for my family and all those that are suffering out there. The ones that are suffering do their best to try to quit this vicious cycle of drinking and drugs, but to most it is

very hard, I know they go for help, but they always end up back in the cycle. Alcohol changes a person’s lifestyle so drastically, they age faster and their personalities change, when at one time these people were once so strong at heart and beautiful and handsome, and now they look so much older and have so much anger, but to me they are still beautiful and strong in their own way. I still see the same person I grew up with and still love them the same way. My love is so unconditional for my family. This is for family and friends out there, I am so glad we can still get together to have a good laugh together and spend some quality time together. I know I don’t see all of you as much as I should but to let you know I will always be here and love you all. With love and prayers, Sis Susie Saul.

On a happier note, note I would like to wish a Happy Easter to my brothers, Jazz, Mark, and John, also my sisters, Joyce, Donna, Loretta, Rose Ellen. Love Sis Susie

Happy Easter to you all, have a safe and happy egg hunting holiday. From Susie Saul
