Vision
We reawaken healthy communities and families by rebuilding cultural pride and holistic health.
Mission
To empower Indigenous youth by providing a culturally based program to eliminate substance misuse.
Program
Leading Thunderbird Lodge provides a 12-week culturally based residential treatment program for First Nation or Inuit male youth from across Canada who are between 12 – 17 years of age. The holistic treatment program provides personal development in the four areas of: Spiritual, Physical, Mental and Social well-being. Education, Addiction, and Mental Health programming are the focus of the treatment program, which are all grounded in the First Nations teachings and culture of the local Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Lakota and Nakota First Nations.
An extension of LTL’s programming includes Pekiwewin House – a transitional home for older graduates of the residential treatment program, that provides enhanced life skills, and where they can continue their education and/or gain work experience.
LTL also has a land-based camp which provides youth in treatment with on-the-land educational and healing experiences within the Porcupine Provincial Forest.
