“…The term was identified to have significance for Aboriginal populations when Brave Heart (1998) applied the concept of IGT in her study of the Lakota people, concluding that most participants in the study displayed symptoms related to trauma such as depression and anxiety. Brave Heart (1998) agreed with other researchers that trauma experienced by more than one generation becomes internalized within families and the community more broadly (Brave Heart, 1998). Further research has shown that many Aboriginal people suffer IGT as a result of more than 400 years of systematic marginalization (Abdullah & Stringer, 1999;Armitage, 1995;Couture, 2000).…”

“…Aboriginal peoples continue to struggle with the compounding impacts of IGT, colonization, the stolen generations, 1 racism, discrimination, and cultural dislocation (Brave Heart, 1998;Marsh et al, 2015a;Menzies, 2014). A dynamic, multilevel approach is necessary to address historical trauma among Indigenous peoples at the individual, family, organizational, community, and policy levels (Spittal et al, 2007).…”

“…Today, many find healing as they become rooted in their cultural communities (Brave Heart, 1998;Duran, 2006;Kovach, 2009;Menzies, 2014). This was reported and expressed in the qualitative data by both the men and the women.…”

“…Intergenerational Trauma and Substance Use Disorders Many Indigenous researchers, traditional healers, and Elders agree that interventions that treat intergenerational trauma (IGT) and substance use disorders (SUD) in Aboriginal peoples should involve cultural interventions (Brave Heart, 1998;Duran, 2006;Hill, 2009;McCormick, 2009;Menzies, 2014;Nabigon, 2006;Waldram, 2008). This approach is critical in facilitating healing and fostering positive identity for Aboriginal peoples (Gone, 2009;Hill, 2009;Kovach, 2009;Mehl-Madrona, 2009).…”

“…Loss of land, culture, and spirituality, as well as the effects of colonization and oppression negatively influenced the well being, strength, and courage of Aboriginal peoples. It is therefore critical to reclaim culture, employ traditional methods, and integrate spirituality in order to promote community empowerment and healing (Brascoupé & Waters, 2009;Brave Heart, 1998;Crazy Bull, 1997).…”

Background: As with many Indigenous groups around the world, Aboriginal communities in Canada face significant challenges with trauma and substance use disorders (SUD). Treatment for intergenerational trauma (IGT) and SUD is challenging due to the complexity of both disorders. There is strong evidence that strengthening cultural identity, incorporating traditional healing practices, encouraging community integration, and inviting political empowerment can enhance and improve mental health and substance use disorders in Aboriginal populations.

Native American peoples' health is impacted by structural legacies of settler colonialism, including land dispossession, racism, and poverty. Responding with care to individuals and communities experiencing past and present traumatic stress from genocide and deeply entrenched structural violence means navigating ongoing grief, restoring selfcommunity and human-ecological relationships, and generating cultural vibrancy.

Unsettling the Settlers: Principles of a Decolonial Approach to Creating Safe(r) Spaces in Post‐secondary Education

In this paper we discuss the ongoing colonial relationship between Indigenous and non‐Indigenous peoples in Canada with a consideration of how to align the principles and core values of community psychology in relation to Indigenous rights, decolonization, and social justice. In working with Community Psychology values to address issues of social justice it is necessary to recognize that empowerment alone is only one half of the solution. While our discipline focuses on oppression and the empowerment of vulnerable and disenfranchised populations we generally fail to consider the relational aspects of power and justice. Specifically, in recognizing power inequities the focus is often placed on empowerment among vulnerable or subjugated communities while neglecting the requisite counterbalance of consciousness‐raising and de‐powerment of dominant populations. The authors provide three personal accounts from a non‐Indigenous faculty member, an Indigenous doctoral student, and a recently graduated non‐Indigenous Masters student. We share our experiences of conscientization and decolonization within the post‐secondary and graduate education systems. We describe an educational context, a pedagogical praxis, and our efforts to bridge the theories of Settler colonialism and community psychology. From our individual and collective reflections of engagement with decolonization in the education system we present an emergent framework that highlights four principles for decolonization. In implementing these principles we discuss the co‐creation of safe(r), decolonized spaces within post‐secondary institutions through deconstructing dominant narratives and illuminating Indigenous narratives of self‐determination with attention to the de‐powerment of non‐Indigenous faculty and students.
