On May 20th, 1996, Traditional Counselors initially started to talk about a spiritual-based program: The Hinn ah Bits os Society (HBS or Eagle Plume Society). HBS is a 24 day Traditional Native American Program which teaches " Client-Relatives" to improve their lives and respect themselves. The City of Gallup helped supply the chained linked fence. Red Rock Chapter helped level the HBS grounds. The Medicine Man Association, Native American Church, Christian values, and an assortment of western therapy procedures. 

Hinn ah Bits os Society (Eagle Plume Society) refers to the story about the Navajo Twin Warriors taking the journey to visit their father, the Sun. They were seeking Self-identity and knowledge. The Sun father tested the Twins on Self-discipline, Strength, and knowledge to overcome many obstacles, they were about to face. Spider Woman presented them each a sacred Eagle Plume for protection, also as a living guide that foretells of uncertain circumstances.  Ts aa  bee na  nitin was integrated into Hinn ah Bits os Society program on August 1, 2003.  The NCI-Hinn ah Bits os Society (Eagle Plume Society), Ts aa bee na nitin (Traditional Navajo Teachings) promote both Dine  and Inter-Tribal philosophies and values.  The program goal is to promote healthy behavior through the clanship system K e) and the Beauty Way Philosophy.  In keeping with the Dine  K e tradition, both Hinn ah Bits so Society (Eagle Plume Society) Traditional Navajo Teaching participants and staff all relate to each other as "Relatives".

We believe that re-kindling K e between our families and ourselves, nature and the holy ones is essential in achieving "Hozhoo Nahas Dlii" (it has become beautiful again).  This K e is necessary to "Walk in Beauty upon Ta didiin Beke  Attin" (corn bee na nitin are committed to not only teaching this way of life, but to protect and preserve this truth by  walking our talk.  Unlike most treatment programs, HBS/TNT are not a  one-shot  residential program but is the beginning of a life long journey of healing, empowerment, and resilience.
