Looking to the future with Recovery conference
by Sarah Frank
The Warm Springs Be-
havioral Health Guiding But-
terflies and Mighty Warrior
adult group met with
NARA—the Native Ameri-
can Rehabilitation Associa-
tion—this summer and de-
cided to plan the first Recov-
ery Never Ends conference.
On September 30 the
conference happened at the
HeHe Longhouse.
September was National
Recovery Month. But we
wanted to send the message
that the month may come
to an end but recovery
never ends.
We originally thought
there would be 20 to 30
people attending the confer-
ence. We are pleased to say
that over 100 people were
in attendance by the after-
noon.
NARA fulfilled Tribal
Councilman Raymond
Tsumpti Sr.’s request to

Great Outdoors Mini Hike participants at HeHe.
come to Warm Springs: This
was their third trip to Warm
Springs to stay in contact
with previous NARA treat-
ment clients.
Breakfast, lunch and
dinner were prepared and
ser ved by volunteers:
Natural Resources do-
nated fish, and NARA Out-
reach brought the food for
dinner.
Master of ceremonies
Aldo Garcia entertained the
audience throughout the day
with his humor and inspira-
tion, often using his own per-
sonal recovery story.
Thank you, Jason Smith,
for your continued support
in the recovery movement.
Deanie Johnson and Guy
Wallulatum gave the open-
ing prayer.
Michael
Martinez and Scott Kalama
were up bright and early pre-
paring for the men and
women’s sweathouses.
Suzy Moody led the
women’s sweat on Friday,
and Birda Kirk led the
women’s sweathouse Thurs-
day
evening.
Guy
Wallulatum shared the War-
rior Song, and the history of
the song.
Patty Katz shared her tes-
timony as a “person in long-
term recovery.” At one time
she spent time getting high
under the I-5 bridge: she also
talked about her lengthy
criminal history. Fifteen
years ago she and a friend
read an article about Na-
tional Recovery Month, and
realized people all over the
U.S. were celebrating their re-
covery from drugs and alco-
hol addiction.
They decided they would
stand on top of the bridge
at daybreak to celebrate.
That decision marked the be-
ginning of Hands Across the
Bridge.
In 2001 there were 200
participants. In 2015 there
were almost 3000 people.
Warm Springs Guiding
Butterflies and Mighty War-
riors attended the 2016
Hands Across the Bridge
event.
