Substance abuse counselors recognize the diversity of their clients and the fact that specific people have distinct needs and vulnerabilities. Native Americans suffering from alcoholism reflect this reality. Here, the work and perspectives of Handsome Lake, a 19th century spiritual leader of the Iroquois Nation who overcame seemingly incurable alcoholism, are used to show how reaffirming a cultural heritage and regaining sobriety can go hand in hand. Beyond merely providing an historical example, this paper generalizes that approach so it can be adapted to the needs of a wide range of indigenous people
