Video: Recovery & Sobriety Support with Frances Saukko & Joel Boshey

Community leaders Frances Saukko (Red Lake Nation tribal member) and Joel Boshey (Bois Forte Nation tribal member) shared the importance of having connections to culture and community in recovery. Joel shared about his personal path to recovery (5 years of sobriety).

This was a beautiful session. AICHO is thankful for Frances and Joel for the good work that they do in our community and being in service to our people and all people in recovery no matter if it's one day or 30+ years.

Joel and Frances organize Duluth's Sobriety Feasts which happen the last Friday of every month at the Central Hillside Community Center from 6 pm - 8 pm. These gatherings are open to everyone regardless of "color of your skin, religious beliefs, etc."

​This session was part of AICHO's Expanding Indigenous Health Equity Indigenous Speaker Series. Funded by St. Louis County (Minnesota) Public Health.
