We would like to acknowledge the contributions of G. Alan Marlatt, Ph.D., to the Healing of the Canoe (HOC) project. As the Director of the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at the University of Washington, he and colleagues worked in a collaborative partnership with the Seattle Indian Health Board to develop a life skills and substance abuse prevention program for American Indian/Alaska Native youth in urban settings.  This work, Canoe Journey Life’s Journey: A Life Skills Manual for Native Adolescents (LaMarr & Marlatt, 2005), served as the foundation for the cultural and tribal-specific adaptation by the Suquamish and Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribes in the Healing of the Canoe. Dr. Marlatt was a member of the HOC research group prior to his untimely death in March 2011.  His vision, passion, mentoring, and wisdom helped set a course for our journey with our tribal partners.  We raise our hands in thanks for his many contributions.

The Culturally Grounded Life Skills for Youth Curriculum is available for download from the Healthy Native Youth website. If your tribal community or organization would like to host a training, visit our curriculum training page for more information.
