Abstrakt: The IFS (Internal Family Systems) model may be an effective framework for addictions treatment in Indian Country. When recovery from addiction and Indigenous wellbeing are understood from an Indigenous worldview perspective, the need for a treatment framework that aligns with a client's worldview becomes obvious. Through the storytelling dialogue of this article, the IFS model is located as a framework that has potential to align with the many unique cultures that are streams in an Indigenous worldview. The Western-developed IFS model's use in non-Western populations around the world points toward exploring its assumptions, language, and protocol for use in Indian Country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
