Elizabeth Fast et al., « Historical Trauma, Race-Based Trauma, and Resilience of Indigenous Peoples: A Literature Review », First Peoples Child & Family Review: An Interdisciplinary Journal Honouring the Voices, Perspectives, and Knowledges of First Peoples / Revue des enfants et des familles des Premiers peuples: Un journal interdisciplinaire honorant les voix, les perspectives et les connaissances des Premiers peuples, ID : 10.7202/1071294ar
This literature review examines the various responses to trauma suffered by Indigenous peoples as a result of governmental policies geared toward assimilation. Both traumatic and resilient responses are demonstrated at the individual, family, and community levels. Much of the research that has been done in the United States to develop theories around historical trauma and race-based traumatic stress may also be applied to Canada’s First Nations due to similar histories of oppression and colonization. Overall, the research finds that self-government and a connection to culture and spirituality result in better outcomes for Indigenous peoples.
