• Alaska Natives were responsible for none of the acts of serious misconduct at Clitheroe during the period covered, but a very high percentage of those banned (or expelled) were Alaska Native.
  [Serious misconduct means bringing drugs into Clitheroe, having sex with staff, etc.*]
  
   

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The timid young woman here, expelled for wanting to eat a candy bar she had just purchased, was Native.

----------

The pregnant young Native woman here was denied admittance at first, because the nurse was in a foul mood. When a complaint was made by the PNA, the "clearance form" denying her treatment was altered to make it look like she had been approved immediately. The Salvation Army receives special funding from the state for pregnant women, and would have problems if they got caught denying services to a pregnant woman (Click here).

The pregnant young woman whose confidentiality was violated here, (and who was then expelled), was part Native.

----------

The young lady used as a pawn by one Director on the bottom of the page here was Native.

----------

One of the most psychologically distressed clients at Clitheroe was a young native woman admitted to residential. She was given a bizarre public punishment that was funny to some people, but did not help her. The treatment she got would probably be considered criminal if it were investigated properly. She did not complete treatment successfully.

----------

There was one young native woman who called Detox asking for a bed. She was told we were full, even though we had two empty beds. [That was done a lot. Click here for the reason.]
She decided to drive to Clitheroe and park her van in front of the entrance (to wait for an "opening").Eventually the police were called. The police asked the nurse on duty if it would be okay if the young lady came in to Detox. He told the police that we did not have space. The PNA corrected him.
Eventually the woman was admitted. The same nurse who did not want to admit that client also refused to admit the pregnant young native woman on the fafsa page.

There were only two native males in the men's residential units (ICU / LTC units) from December 2006 to June 2007. [The Dual Diagnosis unit admits Native males at a more reasonably proportionate rate].

Native women were admitted more easily to the women's residential unit, but Native women fare abyssmally at Salvation Army Clitheroe.
There is a clear pattern of disciplining them more harshly than others, even if it is not intentional.

Salvation Army Clitheroe employees do not deliberately discriminate against natives, but most senior employees have the common attitude that natives are "soft targets" (i.e., they don't fight back), so it isn't necessary to worry about mistreating them.

Among staff at Point Woronzof, there was only one Native, a night monitor.

 

*All of the clients whose drug use was "overlooked" by staff were Caucasian. The client who had sex with most of the Salvation Army's young nurses (as well as some other staff members) was African-American. All of the (other) clients who had sex with staff members in Detox and Residential were Caucasian.
