Vision Statement

Our vision is one where those Aboriginal Peoples affected by the legacy of so-called “discovery,” and ethnic cleansing practices like religious, cultural and colonization oppression and past Government Abuse, Church Abuse, Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse experienced in Boarding or Residential Schools and Alcohol and Drug Abuse and have addressed the effects of unresolved trauma in meaningful terms.  They have broken the cycle of abuse, and have enhanced their capacity as individuals, families, communities and nations to sustain their wellness and that for future generations.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to encourage and support Aboriginal Peoples in building and reinforcing sustainable healing processes from negative addictive behaviors that address the legacy of past ethnic cleansing oppression and Government Abuse, Church Abuse, Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse in the Boarding or Residential Schools system and Alcohol and Drug Abuse, including intergenerational impacts.

Values Statement

We see our role as facilitators in the healing process by helping Aboriginal Peoples help themselves, by providing resources for healing initiatives, by promoting awareness of healing issues and needs, and by nurturing a supportive public environment in our aboriginal communities and communities beyond.  We also work to engage all Americans in this healing process by encouraging them to walk with us on the path of reconciliation.

Ours is a holistic approach.  Our goal is to help create, reinforce, and sustain conditions conducive to healing, reconciliation and self-determination.  We are committed to addressing the legacy of abuse in all its forms and manifestations, direct and indirect and intergenerational, by building on the strengths and resiliency of Aboriginal Peoples.

We emphasize approaches that address the needs of Aboriginal individuals, families and the broader community.  We view prevention of future abuse, and the process of reconciliation between victims and offenders, and between Aboriginal peoples and Americans as vital elements in building healthy, sustainable communities.

By making strategic investments of the resources entrusted to us, and by contributing to a climate of care, safety, good will and understanding, we can support the full participation of all Aboriginal Peoples both on and off reservations, in effective healing processes relevant to our diverse needs and circumstances.
