I am a strong believer American Indians need to embrace our rich culture of our ancestors when alcohol and domestic violence was not a part of how we conducted ourselves. I am not trying to portray paradise, but rather advancing the teachings that include love, respect, honesty, bravery, humility, truth, and wisdom.

Sadly, alcoholism and domestic violence knows no racial or ethnic barrier.
