		<description><![CDATA[Wisdom of the Elders, Inc.’s Executive Producer Rose High Bear and Discovering Our Story Producer Toby Joseph recently returned from Washington D.C. where they attended the Annual Native American Service to Science (STS) Academy sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The workshop was held at the National Museum of the American Indian on the Mall in Washington, D.C. Rose gave a presentation on WISDOM&#8217;s progress over the past year as a result of the technical assistance received at the April 2011 STS Academy Workshop. Toby showed a video he produced on the creation and research of Discovering Our Story. Their presentation was so well received that SAMHSA personnel requested it be made available at SAMHSA’s website. It will also be made available at WISDOM’s website. This follows WISDOM&#8217;s first trip in April 2011 when Rose High Bear (Deg Hit’an Dine, or Alaskan Athabascan), Toby Joseph (Apache, Navajo, Ute), and Jim Hanson1, School Psychologist at Lincoln High School, Portland Public Schools, traveled to Washington DC to strengthen research capacity to document effectiveness of Discovering Our Story Program for the healing of Native communities. WISDOM joined four other substance abuse and mental health programs created by Native communities for Native communities. http://captus.samhsa.gov/access-resources/annual-native-american-service-science-academy-meets-dc WISDOM&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Click here to reserve your free ticket today! &#8220;Indigenous rights are never freely given—they must be demanded, wrested away, then vigilantly protected. That is the essence of freedom.&#8221; — Walter Echo-Hawk &#160; &#160; Walter R. Echo-Hawk (Pawnee) is counsel to the Crowe and Dunlevy law firm of Oklahoma. As a staff attorney for the Native American Rights Fund for thirty-five years, he represented tribes and Native Americans on significant legal issues during the modern era of federal Indian law. In his recent book In the Courts of the Conqueror: The 10 Worst Indian Law Cases Ever Decided, Walter Echo-Hawk analyzes ten cases that embody or expose the roots of injustice and highlight the use of nefarious legal doctrines. He delves into the dark side of the courts, calling for a paradigm shift in American legal thinking. Each case study includes historical, contemporary, and political context from a Native American perspective, and the case&#8217;s legacy on Native America. This special event is free and open to the public. Click here to reserve your [...]]]></description>
