What Our Alumni Say
“I grew up feeling like I didn’t belong—at school or even with my Native family. That pain led me down a long path of addiction. In 2016, I came to Three Rivers Indian Lodge and finally found balance: mind, body, and spirit. Through sweat lodge, counseling, and reconnecting with my higher power, I discovered who I truly am.
After treatment, I went to culinary school and became certified for the first time in my life. Today, I have the honor of serving as the Cook at Three Rivers. I know who I am, and I like who I am—thanks to Three Rivers.”**
