I think the nuance and insights that you bring really help us to explore these dominant myths in our society, whether it be around the genetic basis of alcoholism in native communities or exclusive focus on intergenerational trauma, and in so doing, I think you've really helped us advance our intercultural understanding and also really helped us to kind of illuminate pathways toward healing and hope for all right who are impacted by addiction in varying kind of forms.
Picture a small town that's become a focal point for understanding a bigger issue. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', journalist Ted Alcorn dives deep into the heart of Gallup, New Mexico. Nestled between Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni reservations, Gallup has long been seen as the local drinking hub, but Alcorn's investigation reveals much more beneath the surface.
He unpacks the staggering rates of alcohol-related deaths in New Mexico, shedding light on the historical trauma and unequal treatment faced by native communities. Alcorn doesn't just stop at the statistics; he explores how alcohol taxes influence consumption and emphasizes the critical need for intercultural understanding in addiction treatment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to grasp the complexities of addiction within native communities and seeking hopeful paths toward healing.
