Gookomis Endaad would like to welcome another member of the team....Nate Reyes.

Here is what Nate has to say:

My name is Nate Reyes. I’m from Lac du Flambeau. I am a man and a father. I’m a residential aide at Gookomis Endaad. I am very passionate about my work.
I choses to work at GE because I feel the world and my community can use my energy and guidance. I feel I can make a difference.
I’m hoping to help people find a sense of purpose and duty and to share my story with people who share the difficulties and trials I’ve endured in life.
I am looking forward to GE being able to offer treatment, spiritual, mental, and physical healing. GE will be able to provide a space where people can heal and regroup.
Outside of work I enjoy physical activity, I weightlift, play basketball, I run and teach my children how to be men and to be a great example for my baby daughter.

Welcome to the team, Nate!

Gookomis Endaad would like to welcome another new Employee Jean Thoms. She is a Residential Aide and we are happy to have her on the team!

Here is what Jean had to say....

Boozhoo! My name is Jean Thoms, I am a member of the Lac du Flambeau Tribe and reside here on the beautiful Waswagoning. I am 60 years old; I am a mother and a grandmother to Declan and Della and soon to be one more grandson. I served in our U.S. Military and am a proud veteran of the USMC. Ooh-Rah!!

I chose Gookomis Endaad because I care. I chose Gookomis Endaad for the reasons it is about, to promote healthy lifestyles, to provide support and achievement in recovery to be a part of the healing journey.

Every day I hope to share “Mino Bimaadiziwin” with our relatives and to help them achieve just that and realize that recovery will allow you “Mino Bimaadiziwin”. (Good Life).

It is my hope that Gookomis Endaad can provide every possible aspect of care for our relatives with the guidance of our Seven Teachings, our guide to the way of life, embracing Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility, and Truth.

In my down time, I 100% enjoy being in the company of my grandchildren and my daughter. We are all crafters and so we do our crafts, we have great conversations, good food and lots of good laughs.

I love to attend pow wows and I love to bead as these are where I find my peace, comfort and relaxation.

Miigwech!
