MISSION
STATEMENT
"Based
on a foundation of our culture and traditions, and respect for
individual choices and responsibilities, the mission of the 'Namgis
Treatment Centre is to facilitate the emotional, mental, physical,
and spiritual well being of our community."
The
Kwakwala speaking man has always been aware of his PHYSICAL, MENTAL,
SPIRITUAL and EMOTIONAL existence. He built a very complex SOCIAL
STRUCTURE. He personified attributes like HONOR and RESPECT. SYMBOLS
were very important. The PHYSICAL symbol of the SISIUTL is POWER,
STRENGTH and PROTECTION. SPIRITUALLY, it personifies the greatest
DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE of all - THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE. We have it
within us to love, to hate, to build or to destroy
