Objective(s): To develop and provide a culturally-specific treatment component within the Hay River Treatment Centre's 28-day alcohol and drug treatment program which incorporates the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing practices, beliefs and values of the Dene Nation.
Project Description: The research will be based at Hay River and conducted over a 4-month period in 1992 in order to provide a working draft of the Native cultural component of the Hay River Reserve Treatment Centre for the training of Centre Staff. Seven elders from designated communities in the South Slave region will be employed as the primary resource for development and organization of information with regard to traditional beliefs and healing practices within the communities.
