She has a suitor and is not pleased but I tease her. I have been trying to find out how to say "he sings" in Lakota because he serenades her nightly, lol. Never did hear back from the Ins Rep. so that must wait until another day. I hope y'all had a wonderful, and satisfying day!

Description
The Red Road to Wellbriety is a journey of hope and healing for Native Americans seeking recovery from addictions. The book draws on the philosophies and practices of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, especially the Twelve Step process, because it has much in common with traditional Native ways. When the 12 Steps are placed in a circle, they come into alignment with the tribal circle teachings. Join us for our group discussions, using The Red Road to Wellbriety in addition to the "Big Book".Announcements

Osyso, My Sister,
I am aslo mixed blood Blackfoot and white I just can't prove the white part haha.
I am new to this site of recovery and have been clean of booze for a long time Native people should not drink "fire water" it only gets us in trouble. I walk the red road in my faith and understanding of our passed lives and have no fear of the unknown anymore, Our Creator has given us a new life to carry the message to all Native people. I like you have had trouble with the understanding of the word "God" I do beleave in the Creator Father sky and Mother earth, the four directions and the colors of hope, dreams, love, understanding, and faith, My faith comes from nature seeing what the Creator has done my sadness comes from what the white man has done. This is just my thoughts I beleave that when you walk the red road you walk with faith knowning you walk with understanding that the Creator has given you a new life of hope and dreams and directions to help others walk the same path.

My name is Debra Rincon Lopez from Portland Oregon. I am enrolled member of the Klamath, Modoc & Yahooskin Tribes in Southern Oregon state. I am also 1/2 Blackfeet from my Fathers side from Browning Montana.My Father worked for BIA all his life, so I lived on many Indian Reservations. I learned the CULTURE & Heritage from them all. Plus my own, I competed in Dancing since I was 4yrs of age too, I am retired now I dance for fun now? I am sober for 6-7yrs now. I wasn't going to be another one of our Tribal members dead from drugs & alcohol. It has killed over half of our TRIBEs in Oregon state. I am new here but not new to the RED ROAD of sobriety, I work with this program for years. My AUNTIE is a COUNSELOR for our TRIBE I am working on being one myself. Plus other SOCIAL SERVICE Agencies also. I would like to join this group. I HOPE TO SHARE Some Sober tips with you, & maybe learn some I don't know, Plus NATIVE CULTURE. I was raised Native my whole life.

"Everybody should pray together, cheer along, root along. That brings the circle together. Everything is together."
--Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA
Life on the Earth can sometimes be very complicated. Sometimes we think we are alone in our problems. Sometime we even withdraw. Then the problems become even more difficult. We need to watch out for one another, to care for one another, to pray together, to encourage one another; and we need to support one another. Behaving in this manner will bring the circle together.
Great Spirit, today, let me support my brothers and sisters.

"You can pray for whatever you want, but it is always best to pray for others, not for yourself."
--John Fire Lame Deer, LAKOTA
When you are selfish and you pray, you are requesting things to flow only to you. When you are selfless, you are praying for things to flow to others. The old ones say this is the highest form of prayer. Praying this way is according to the Natural Laws.
Great Spirit, today, let my thoughts be about others.
