Native Wellness Conference

Saturday
The Ketchikan Indian Community Social Services sponsored a "Native
Wellness Conference" held at the Ted Ferry Civic Center,
September 8 and 9. Every speaker on the agenda eloquently
addressed the specific subject of wellness. Thank
you to whomever had the wisdom to get Harold Napoleon as
a keynote speaker. His message was how to obtain wealth,
not material wealth, but spiritual wealth. I read his book,
"YUUYARAQ: The Way of the Human Being," and for
many years wanted to meet him in person. By being a participant
I had the privilege of being in the same room with this powerful
speaker.
Social workers and social service providers quietly go about
promoting wellness. Thank you for your hard work in putting
this conference together and Thank you for giving us the privilege
of hearing Harold Napoleon.
