LRI-Tobacco Prevention
Traditional Tobacco use honors the Creator and is governed by cultural protocol for spiritual, ceremonial and cultural uses.
Manufactured/commercial tobacco addiction and product use causes sickness, disease and death in our communities and is governed by marketing protocols of addiction.
Additionally, we work from the perspective of self-discipline, respect, insight, integrity, humilty, strength and flexibilty with the goal of creating holistic health for Indigenous families and communities.
We carry on the traditions of bravery, resilience, purity, clarity, honesty, committment, unity and our cultural knowledge. We are focused and able. We have stamina and embody these values in our relationships as well as our work. We honor our elders and are mindful of the generations to come.
