Mission Statement
It is the chief goal of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Substance Abuse Program (LTBB-SAP) to provide substance abuse treatment that will integrate and reinforce the traditional/ cultural/spiritual values/norms of the Waganakising Odawa to members and clientele who are experiencing life problems as a result of historic trauma, addictions, loss of social/cultural values/norms and dysfunctional parenting/learning that is a direct result of the forced Boarding School Experience.
The Substance Abuse Program provides a culturally sensitive and family-focused curriculum to assist clientele in re-establishing and fostering healthy lifestyles and to assist clientele in healthy decision making.
