Mission

Why Restoring Relatives exists and what guides the work.

Mission

Restoring relatives. Healing communities.

Restoring Relatives supports the re-entry, recovery, healing, and wellness of tribal members and their families who have been impacted by incarceration and multigenerational trauma. The work builds positive life skills through restorative, cultural, and traditional practices.

How the work holds together

A continuum of support grounded in relationship.

  • Restorative practice

    Approach

    Accountability and repairing harm are held alongside community support and the possibility of restoration.

  • Cultural and traditional practices

    Approach

    Cultural knowledge and traditional practice are part of the work, not an add-on to it.

  • Family restoration

    Focus

    Services make space for the social, psychological, cultural, and family needs that shape a successful return home.
