Book Synopsis The Way of Our People by : Donald Richard Wright

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These inspirational meditations, prayers, and stories are written by an Ojibwe Elder and alcohol and drug counselor to speak with clarity, wisdom, and care about the everyday experience of recovery. The author combines Ojibwe and Twelve Step spiritual principles and practices with stories from Indians at all stages of recovery to help readers navigate the challenges and rewards of living sober. Each of this book’s 52 meditations includes a short reflection, a related story "from the rooms" of AA, and seven prayers—one for every day of the week. Grounded in reliance on the Creator, the wisdom of Elders, and the support of the sober community, this unique collection is intended to provide daily strength and hope for the recovery journey and counteract the harsh realities of poverty, violence, and broken relationships that are too often fueled by alcohol and other drug use. Readers will recognize the value of spiritual laws like Honesty, Sharing, Kindness, and Strength as well as the power of traditional rituals such as offering tobacco with prayers. Whatever our culture, we can apply this book’s wisdom to our recovery and life.
Book Synopsis Drinking and Sobriety Among the Lakota Sioux by : Beatrice Medicine
Download or read book Drinking and Sobriety Among the Lakota Sioux written by Beatrice Medicine and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2007 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereprevious studies have focused primarily upon drinking styles among Indian populations, Beatrice Medicine develops an indigenous model for the analysis and control of alcohol abuse. This new ethnography of the Lakota (Standing Rock in North and South Dakota) examines patterns of alcohol consumption and strategies by individuals to attain a new life-style and achieve sobriety. Medicine describes the ineffectiveness of treatments when researchers, policy makers, and health professionals do not use a tribal-specific approach to addiction. She offers an indigenous perspective and understanding that should lead to improved approaches to treatment in mental health and alcohol abuse. Her book is essential for medical anthropologists, Native American studies researchers, and health professionals concerned with Native American health issues and alcohol abuse.

Book Synopsis From Alcoholism to Sobriety by : Blanche Ridgely
Download or read book From Alcoholism to Sobriety written by Blanche Ridgely and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine how four Northern Arapaho women came to be sober. They had undergone treatment that provided Western-based and Native American-based treatment. The women shared their experiences regarding alcoholism, sobriety and the maintenance of their sobriety. This work motivated me because of my capability to quit abusing alcohol through spirituality, since then, I've always believed that Native American people can find recovery from alcoholism in order to sustain tribal nations. I also wanted to find out what experiences led to sobriety for these four women. As I pursued the study, other themes emerged such as Colonization and how it impacts Native American people in general. Because of Colonization there is higher risk for relapse and it paves the way for other health-related disparities that Native Americans have to contend with. The study results proved to be significant not only for the four Northern Arapaho women but all Native American people. Out of the four women three became sober primarily through the Alcoholics Anonymous program. In conjunction with the AA program they utilized the Native American strategies/cultural ceremonies such as the sweat lodge and talking circle. One participant became sober utilizing the sweat lodge ceremony. Implications for the study was positive, hopefully other Native American alcoholics will apply this model to their lives.
