He Wo Un Poh:
Recovery in Native America
Reclaiming the Native American identity and spirituality is the focus
of the seven individuals featured in this video. A member of the Santa
Clara Tewa Pueblo and a recovering alcoholic herself, filmmaker Beverly
Singer has brought together these Native Americans of different ages
to reveal their struggles with alcohol and drug abuse and the troubled
circumstances that led them there. In candid interviews, they speak
of the painful consequences to their actions, mainly, family break-ups,
lost jobs, and jail. The path that led them back to recovery was aided
by support from their community and treatment centers.
