1. Resource Guide: Historical Trauma and Post-Colonial Stress in American Indian Populations

Author

Brave Heart, Maria Yellow Horse and Deschenie, Tina

Abstract

Recent studies on historic and multi-generational trauma among Native people have assisted individuals and communities in dealing with the continuing aftereffects. Following in the footsteps of Native American elders and activists, social workers, mental health professionals, and scholars are seeking to revitalize cultural traditions to combat problems of alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide, and mental illness--all symptoms of historical trauma. Resources in this guide include relevant studies, Web sites, and a video. They provide information for students researching this topic, anyone interested in the healing process, and practitioners in the field.

Abstract

Although there is literature concentrating on cross-cultural approaches to academic and community partnerships with Native communities, few address the process and experiences of American Indian women leading federally funded and culturally grounded behavioral health intervention research in Native communities. This paper summarizes relevant literature on community-engaged research with Native communities, examines traditional roles and modern challenges for American Indian women, describes the culturally grounded collaborative process for the authors' behavioral health intervention development with Native communities, and considers emergent themes from our own research experiences navigating competing demands from mainstream and Native communities. It concludes with recommendations for supporting and enhancing resilience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
