More than 3,000 aboriginal people met recently in St. Albert for the international conference Healing Our Spirit Worldwide. They came from all over the globe to share their pain and successes in the struggle to free Native peoples of the devastating effects of alcohol and drug addictions.

Delegates represented many aboriginal cultures, including Sammi from Norway, Maori from New Zealand, Mowree from Australia and Mapuche from Chile. Most came from grass-roots organizations on the front lines of the fight against substance abuse in their homelands.
