White
Bison, Inc., is an American Indian non profit
organization based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Through
White Bison, it's Founder and President Don
Coyhis, Mohican Nation, has offered healing resources
to Native America since 1988. White Bison offers sobriety,
recovery, addictions prevention, and wellness/Wellbriety
learning resources to the Native American community
nation wide. Many non-Native people also use White Bison's
healing resource products, attend its learning circles,
and volunteer their services.
White Bison's mission is to assist in
bringing 100 Native American communities into healing
by 2010. This mission is being realized by means of
the many Wellbriety resources, Wellbriety conferences,
specialized community training events, Wellbriety coalitions,
and the popular grassroots Firestarters circles of recovery
groups across the nation.
White Bison is a proud facilitator of
the Wellbriety Movement. Wellbriety means to be sober
and well. Wellbriety teaches that we must find sobriety
from addictions to alcohol and other drugs and recover
from the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol on individuals,
families and whole communities. The "Well" part of Wellbriety
is the inspiration to go on beyond sobriety and recovery,
committing to a life of wellness and healing everyday.
