"Sacred Trust" is a beautiful, sensitive prevention video for all audiences, especially American Indian and Alaska Native nations. Sacred Trust adresses Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) among American Indian and Alaska Native women and promotes an alcohol-free lifestyle during pregnancy. Individuals from various nations are shown giving no-use messages: parents and foster parents, a tribal elder, a health educator, and a Native American man. The film promotes zero tolerance for alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and drugs for all pregnant women. This film describes the effects of exposure to alcohol and drugs on the fetus during pregnancy. This video which was produced by USDA, Food and Consumer Service for use in the WIC program addresses Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). Individuals of various Nations present messages that encourage women to say "NO" to alcohol. These messages are presented as a family of Plains Indians prepares throughout the day to attend a powwow. During the video, the image of Chief Sitting Bull appears conveying a message of spiritual value. While the individuals in the video represent a few Nations, the message is of vital importance to all Native American and Alaska Natives. Public service announcement public domain video produced for US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Supplemental Food Program Divisions (SFPD) and the Food and Consumer Services (FCS) -- produced by the Video, Teleconference and Radio Center, Office of Communications, USDA.

    I remember there are epidemic bouts of alcoholism on the reservations. It's also where I've seen soo many cases of FAS. My own cousins were like that, but they died soon after their 20th b-days, they were in a vegetative state.

    Alcohol ruins lives for people, it's not their faults.

    Thank you for posting this. Regular and heavy drinking are very dangerous in the pregnancy. You should not become pregnant when you are an alcoholic. If you are and become pregnant it's important to wean off slowly as the detoxication symptoms are also dangerous...
