Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Indigenous Studies

Background:

  • Current resilience models in psychology and psychiatry need adaptation for Indigenous peoples.
  • Colonization has profoundly impacted Indigenous communities in Canada, affecting autonomy and social structures.
  • Indigenous peoples possess unique cultural, geographic, and historical contexts of adversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the value of integrating Indigenous constructs into resilience research.
  • To understand resilience through the lens of Inuit, Métis, Mi'kmaq, and Mohawk communities.
  • To inform mental health promotion, policy, and clinical practice for Indigenous populations.

Main Methods:

  • Observations from an ongoing collaborative project on resilience.
  • Analysis of Indigenous constructs expressed through local stories and metaphors.
  • Examination of relational, ecocentric, and cosmocentric concepts of self and personhood.

Main Results:

  • Indigenous constructs offer valuable insights into resilience processes.
  • Key processes include emotion regulation, collective identity revisioning, language revitalization, and agency renewal.
  • Resilience emerges from dynamic interactions within social-ecological systems.

Conclusions:

  • Incorporating Indigenous constructs is essential for culturally relevant resilience research.
  • A social-ecological framework is crucial for understanding Indigenous resilience.
  • Findings have significant implications for mental health interventions and policies for Indigenous peoples.
