Note. The WHF program integrates a cultural approach to healing through elements, including the Indigenist FHORT, through the integration of talking circles in each session to foster egalitarian and tribally centered healthy communication, through the integration of the medicine wheel approach to wellness and mental health, through tribal values and teaching, such as through the Sacred Tree book that transmits examples of Indigenous value systems (Bopp, 1989), through the integration of culturally relevant risk and protective factors from a decade of preliminary work, and infusing Indigenist foodways. WHF = Weaving Healthy Families; FHORT = Framework of Historical Oppression, Resilience, and Transcendence.
