"Abuse and repression have no place in a traditional family"

Alcohol is a scourge upon the world and is not needed but wanted by individuals with little or no willpower.

were taught how to live.  The were taught
about relationships, respect and spirituality.
Only since alcohol was introduced to Indians
have we seen physical abuse, sexual abuse and
verbal abuse.  These behaviors have no room
in traditional families.  The cycle of abuse must
be broken during this generation.  We do this
by asking for help to quit drinking and abusing
and return to our traditional culture and
spirituality.
