This study, called Gii'Igoshimong, is looking at how a traditional ceremony led by Elders might help Ojibwe/Anishinaabe/Chippewa adults who use substances and have mental health issues. Researchers want to see if participating in this ceremony improves substance use and overall well-being. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, identify as Ojibwe/Anishinaabe/Chippewa, have used substances in the last 30 days, and meet other health criteria. The study will measure success by looking at how many days you use substances, your overall well-being (Flourishing Scale), and brain activity related to how you think about yourself. The current status of the study is unclear.
