“…The results showed that 28.5% of respondents had attended a residential school. These data are consistent with other studies (e.g., Barton et al, 2005;First Nations Centre, 2005). The proportion of individuals who have attended residential schools increased with age, which is also consistent with the literature (Reading & Elias, 1999;First Nations Centre, 2005).…”

Residential schools were the institutions, in operation from the 19th century to the late 20th century, which Indigenous children in Canada were forced to attend. The literature shows that many young people who attended these institutions were victims of neglect and abuse.Negative psychological effects resulting from child abuse have been amply documented.However, very few studies on this subject have been carried out among Canada's Indigenous peoples. The objective of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate, for an Indigenous population in (n = 121) reported having experienced child sexual abuse, and 34.1% (n = 117) reported having experienced child physical abuse. Results of the exact logistic regression analyses indicated that residential school attendance was linked to alcohol problems, while child abuse was related to drug use problems. The results of this study highlight the importance of considering the consequences of historical traumas related to residential schools to better understand the current situation of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

“…On the other hand, no differences were found in terms of levels of happiness, quality of life, and quality of relationships with family members between Aboriginals who had and had not gone to residential schools (Barton et al, 2005). No associations were also found between boarding school attendance and mental disorders in a sample of American Indian/Alaska Native women in primary care (Duran et al, 2004) or with lifetime alcohol dependence in a Navajo sample (Henderson, Kunitz, Gabriel, McCright, & Levy, 1998).…”

“…Alcohol and drug use, suicide and suicidality, poorer perceived quality of life, and several mental disorders (e.g., depression, posttraumatic stress disorder) are more common in indigenous peoples than in non-indigenous samples (Allard, Wilkins, & Berthelot, 2004;Barton, Thommasen, Tallio, Zhang, & Michalos, 2005;Beals et al, 2005;Clarke, Colantonio, Rhodes, & Escobar, 2008;Compton, Thomas, Stinson, & Grant, 2007;Hasin, Goodwin, Stinson, & Grant, 2005;Hasin, Stinson, Ogburn, & Grant, 2007;Kinzie et al, 1992;Kirmayer, Brass, & Tait, 2000;Michalos, Thommasen, Read, Anderson, & Zumbo, 2005;Robin, Chester, Rasmussen, Jaranson, & Goldman, 1997a). The need for prevention and intervention strategies that are more conducive to the traditional culture and spirituality of indigenous peoples has been recognized by indigenous organizations and several researchers (e.g., Beals et al, 2005;Goldston et al, 2008;Health Canada, 2003;Katz et al, 2006).…”

The present study examined community/tribe, peer/family, and individual correlates of suicidal behaviour in a representative on-reserve sample of First Nations Bivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the relationships between a range of factors and lifetime suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and any suicidality. A multivariate logistic regression analysis identified those correlates most strongly related to any suicidality. Findings showed that several correlates were found to be associated with an increased likelihood of suicidal behaviour, including being female, depressed mood, abuse/fear of abuse, a hospital stay, and substance use. Results of this study will likely be of importance in informing First Nations and government policy related to the implementation of suicide prevention strategies in Manitoban First Nations communities.Correlates of Suicidality iii Acknowledgements

“…Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal scholars agree that the relationship between the cumulative effects of historical trauma and current trauma, including sexual abuse, are directly related to the HIV epidemic among Indigenous peoples in North America (Barton, Harvey, Thommasen, Zhang, & Michalos, 2005;Braitstein et al, 2003;Duran, Duran, Yellow Horse Brave Heart, & Yellow Horse-Davis, 1998;Robin, Chester, Rasmussen, Jaranson, & Goldman, 1997a;Wesley-Esquimaux & Smolewski, 2004). We found significant univariate associations between having at least one parent who attended residential school and involvement in the child welfare system with sexual abuse among Cedar Project participants.…”

Recent Indigenist scholarship has situated high rates of traumatic life experiences, including sexual abuse, among Indigenous peoples of North America within the larger context of their status as colonized peoples. Sexual abuse has been linked to many negative health outcomes including mental, sexual and drug-related vulnerabilities. There is a paucity of research in Canada addressing the relationship between antecedent sexual abuse and negative health outcomes among Aboriginal people including elevated risk of HIV infection. The primary objectives of this study were to determine factors associated with sexual abuse among participants of the Cedar Project, a cohort of young Aboriginal people between the ages of 14 and 30 years who use injection and non-injection drugs in two urban centres in British Columbia, Canada; and to locate findings through a lens of historical and intergenerational trauma. We utilized post-colonial perspectives in research design, problem formulation and the interpretation of results. Multivariate modeling was used to determine the extent to which a history of sexual abuse was predictive of negative health
