Iron Tribe

Iron Tribe Recovery Network is a support group for former addicts and felons in Portland. The group is anchored in Native American traditions, although most of its members are not Native American.

Iron Tribe was started in prison by Bear and Shawn who "built a re-entry program for themselves, from scratch." The organization currently has about 200 active members.
