Abstract
The cognitive anthropological method of deriving cultural models from ethnographic discourse analysis is illustrated in relation to case studies yielding nativistic insights regarding American Indian substance dependency and recovery. Discussion focuses on the broader applicability and local community relevance of incorporating cultural models directly into the design and implementation of prevention and intervention programs. Such an approach may benefit local community cultural revitalization efforts while enhancing the cultural relevance and effectiveness of substance abuse programs.
