The War On Drugs
Behind the mask of society are eyes rolling backwards about the drug addiction and the seriousness of it affecting those we care for. We just don't believe it enough to act on it until it is too late! The problem is persistent, self-challenging to those diverse friend making groups and reliant on personal income support that it seems like any other addiction the reservation has faced. There is community support and room to recover. The environment we created through oppressive change has flourished and opened doors for many other recoveries that have no limit on the damage it does for the people. How do we control it and save our money now from being gateway supporters to future drugs and criminal activity?
Solution: Using Enrollment Criteria For Effective Policy Making To Cut on Cost
The visionary statement of any business or tribal government may consist of providing future decision-making for the well-being of the people and its government. This may need to include how to utilize these preamble statements effectively from their tribal constitution. The enrollment department is currently undergoing strict guidelines on what is a tribal member. Blood quantum, family tree, and current credentials are among the general requirements but let's say we include no drug charges. That drug charge has stopped your descendants from being capable of enrollment. Your children will be in a home environment non-compliant to enrollment because of that drug charge.
The decision is still there - to use or not to use while keeping the cost for enforcing drug-free members at an all-time low.
1. The intervention program is low-cost for not needing a group, salary, department, and building to persist in a budget that drains revenue and creates yet another behavioral health service expense for a group of members that not everyone wants to create extra budgetary constraints for.
2. The threat looming guarantees tribal members consistent with the entire tribal constitution as providing the people with duty in the visionary statements to make decisions that affect future generations. Now the people must make daily actions that support and self-sustain the entire Nation and all of its memberships.
3. Upholding sovereignty enforces tribal policies and creates a new American standard of behavioral health support and enforces less trauma on future services needed.
Case Support and Experience Records
The history we are making is prolonging the trauma from historical ways of living that has always been supported by technology to improve luxury and goods of service provided. It has improved with each invention and government program! That is creating amendments to the Nation to Nation peace treaties that we ought to recognize as repairment of political immunity. It has always been our decision to partake in what also flourished in America: crime, booze, and drugs with mainstream pop cultures. We can no longer expend future generations in expectations to fall by encouraging the wrong solutions.
These perspectives are not allowed because it bashes the foundation of sovereignty and the righteousness that has now led the people in political gains and grants to support their people. As the selective few rise out of the hardships and trauma, they provide good insight and we become separated as a nation. We become our own statistical makers and demographics. The full-blood confusion is met with drug/drunk love that sweeps over them in a night of passion to create the next tribal member. The recovery is another sad story about dysfunctional homes and missing children. We become our own problem and try to solve it the only way we know how - rely on others to do it for us.
Solution: Tribal Intervention Community Service Patrols
Creating the people to people relations and personally self-guided experiences often need an actual helping hand to lead them out of the scenario. To show them that this is a bad projection and that they are being saved. They are led to micro-managed groups that select their mentorships to turn around and serve their community by providing the same recovery processes. The red road to sobriety is flexible and encourages many solutions of how to relate and provides many mentors to converge on the personality differences and schedule conflictions we have today.
Building skill services, groups, and interactive community engagements that support events of cultural impact provide a better person to represent the community and identify the next intervention.
This sounds good. To maintain is draining if not done properly. While in recovery, we are often times found drained and desperate to return to a normal state where life did not need that extra work. When it was not creating a consistent blame and target of shame on their back. The absent friendships because of recreational interactions that are incomplete because of the life change and lack of community support within them. The trust is anew, we are succeptible to failure and relapse.
The support becomes inconsistent and breaks for leadership qualities not strengthened by personal fitness for the role to intervene. The committment levels are low and the return rate to sobriety becomes another known tragedy.
Where is the data on the recovery rates, return rates, and intervention success/fails, leadership terms? If there is none, I would suspect a reoccuring role that has become part of the personality traits we are leaving to the future generations - which is a huge red flag that needs attention!
Hierarchy Systems for Recovery Leadership
The personal fulfillment and tribal status in role model positions often need encouragement for prolonged involvement and recognition within the community. They are out of current touch with the illness and become outdated, however, their role has changed - it does not change the recovery process. These roles ought to shift into a process that allows multiple leadership positions to assume and remain in context for bridging recovery from abusive lifestyles. This is dependent on the reward system and the leadership shifts into positivity rather than strategizing their friendships. At best, in a diverse society, these times of abusive lifestyles are to maintain trust and friendship in the future to guarantee a reputable clearance if anything were to happen ill-fitting their child's expected experiences. The street cred built is turned into a reliable fortune for anyone in those straits and ends up being outdated, which means, it needs generational consistency to be maintained. Its taught. Its integrated into the home and relished in pride for its time and survival.
How do we provide these safe guarded experiences with diverse communities without impacting our family roles, leadership roles, and/or jeopardizing the community support systems?
We have to support the businesses within our community as safe havens for these experiences and enforce expectations. At best, its going to happen - so we have to shift our expectations and intervene in new ways.
One of those is persistent on isolating our youth and showing them something that they may not know or have been involved with - this could be from sports, hobby, parenting involvement, older sibling involvement, or college ambitions. You can provide a clean and loving home but the moment these change with a respectable diverse con artist from a big family who has learned how to manipulate love for their actions with charm, talk, or support themselves - it begins to wear it down. We see time with us as valuable trust totems and it is being used to break us down. Convincing us, its ok, I have your back, we are a team. These are traits that are being used and not countered to recognize and retreat in time to avoid life altering situations.
When the new 21 year olds enter the bar, they are no longer met with older generational hobbyists to greet them with warning and danger. The task is now met with mainstream music, anticipated music videos, and beautiful/handsome hosts who are confidently providing what your supposed to do now. They haven't practiced saying no. They are unprepared for encountering diversity. They did not mean to do any of these new things. It opens an entire new shift that culture stops providing for within them and around them.
This is depicting cultural impact as not being able to affect within these environments and that is untrue. Anyone who speaks of recovery will often lead to the moment they found their identity tear them away into that well-being road to change. There are moments of realization that occur and need a listening person to drawl into that recovered this memory. It has always been seen in a negative light and unusable within cultural standards - but there can be a neutral ground for those that understand why we don't just leave it entirely.
As Tribal people progress, we are being decimated by the freedom of education, love, and peace. We are torn as impressionable people that confuse the priority of duty - which is not enforced currently - with equality in services and opportunity. We are living like we are a determinant group that is reconciling for time lost in an unrepresentation we did not build. We want leadership but don't want the dictatorship we need to tell us what our role is to the community. Its a choice now. Its our choice that makes us proud and wealthy. But, traditionally, and within the umbrella of tribal economic services, this should be appointed to be effective in revenue dollars and educational markets of support.
We need real occupations that we paid for to support us now. This was not a 'thing' in the past because we were maintaining sobriety and services with one revenue. This is still new to us! That means, trusting the right departmental staff (higher education and data analysts with high school career counselors) to support those changes and expectations until we can be capable of meeting our quota to expend an open choice career generation to seek out their job security. I would rather have that dilemma than where we are currently in the visionary statements of tribal constitutions!
