Wellbriety Celebrating Families! now in W.S. W ellbriety is a grow ing movement in Indian Coun try. This is the grassroots movement o f White Bison, based in Colorado, with part ners in many Indian commu nities. W hite B ison and Wellbriety provide culturally based healing— from addic tio n , abuse, and o th e r trauma— to the next seven generations o f Indigenous people. O n the W arm Springs Reservation, the Wellbriety Sons and Daughters o f Tra dition program led to cre ation o f the Soaring Butter flies and Warrior Spirits stu dent and youth programs. The Warm Springs Tribal Court has a Wellbriety alter native to criminal court (story at right). And last year Com munity Counseling formed the adult groups G uiding Butterflies and Mighty War riors. Sarah Wolfe at the Coun seling Center has been an adv o cate o f the local Wellbriety movement. Re cently, she saw the opportu nity to bring Wellbriety train ing to the reservation. The three-day training, held last week, now allows Community Counseling to host an eight-week Wellbriety Celebrating Families! p ro gram. Twenty-nine people took p a rt in the training. T he group used the conference room at Fire Management, as it provided the needed space. The training— the first o f its kind in Warm Springs— was paid for through a grant. “D on Coyhis (White Bi son fo u n d er) asked if I wanted to get this started in Warm Springs,” Sarah says. 1 I y È y if' -affi?
