In a unique collaboration to raise awareness about the health risks of drug abuse and addiction, as well as prevention and treatment, American Indian experts and organizations nationwide have collaborated with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health, to create an intergenerational year 2001 calendar, Walking A Good Path.
"This is an inspirational and educational calendar developed for people throughout Indian Country," says Dr. Alan I. Leshner, NIDA Director. "It shares the most current science-based information about the differences between drug abuse and drug addiction, the health effects and risks of several drugs, and key elements of effective prevention and treatment."
More than 15 Native American organizations participated in the development of the calendar, including the American Indian Health Council, the American Indian Prevention Coalition, and the Indian Health Service. Walking A Good Path features powerful photos, all by Indian photographers, and quotes from American Indian and Alaska Native young people.
