The principal objectives of this offering are:

  1. Strengthen the free agency behavior of Oklevueha Rehabilitative Programs Authorized Participants.
  2. Strengthen the loving relationship of the family unit.
  3. Strengthen our community citizenship by achieving principle objectives 1. and 2.

The first of these objectives is met by confining the program to enthusiastic committed persons that wish to maximize the exercising of their free agency. It may appear that the Native American ceremonies allow the Authorized Participant injury, due to the use of items that could be employed to injure themselves or others (hot stones in the sweat lodge, American Native Sacraments, etc.). There is no record that this has ever occurred in the past conduct of these programs ‘conducted’ by Oklevueha Native American Church Spiritual Leaders. On the contrary, participation in these programs has led to an improvement in safe human behavior, as reported by Authorized Participants, family members, Correctional and Rehabilitative Institutions.

The long-term objectives of any Oklevueha Rehabilitative Programs Authorized Participant – is an improvement in social fitness to the degree that he or she will increase their ability to discipline one’s free agency. Statistics strongly support the efficacy of religious counseling techniques in achieving this objective. In addition to these objectives, this offering embodies several specific objectives:

Oklevueha Rehabilitative Programs Authorized Participants, both Native and non-Native, tend to feel disenfranchised by society. This feeling results in a loss of respect for social authority, legal and religious institutions along with an increased likelihood of addictive behavior. The American Native beliefs stress the concept of respect: respect for one’s mother and father, respect for all ancestors, respect for the earth, and for the universal spirit. Most of all, it is respect for oneself, reflected by taking full responsibility for exercising one’s free agency and place in the world. By extension, this entails respect for one’s family’s standards and community laws.

Oklevueha Rehabilitative Programs Authorized Participants are well known to consider themselves as the victims of a capricious justice system and unforgiving society. This concept is directly addressed by the Oklevueha Native American Church Spiritual Leaders who emphasize that there are no victims, and each Authorized Participant is directly responsible for, and in control of, his or her behavior. A direct goal of these programs is to assist the Authorized Participant to truly understand and internalize this sense of responsibility.

Oklevueha Rehabilitative Programs counseling focus is repentance. The Authorized Participant is encouraged to commit to a personal atonement for past injuries to others, and forgiveness of those that may have injured the Authorized Participant at some period his or her life. The Oklevueha Native American Church is non-denominational. There is no specific theology, nor does it believe that it has any saving ordinance abilities and Authorized Participants are encouraged to actively participate in a religious belief system. OHP counseling techniques encourages this participation and emphasizes that each individual truly live up to – and not just profess a standard of their chosen religious belief system.

Achieving these objectives will result in Rehabilitative Programs participants’ being more respectable and helpful to themselves, their families, and the community as a whole.
