The Elders’ Resilience Curriculum
The path to enhancing spiritual and cultural connection
Indigenous Elders in Residence programs are a leading practice in mentorship and Indigenize the academy by centering Indigenous knowledge and knowledge holders. Higher education institutions worldwide grew alongside colonial exploitation leading to imperialist institutions that aim to delegitimize diverse ways of knowing to consolidate power. Support mechanisms are needed to shift hegemonic systems and center Indigenous knowledges as part of an e…
Native American resilience to protect family nutrition during a pandemic
Native American (NA) communities have a history of being forced to adapt to adversity and leverage cultural strengths to cope with nutrition injustices. For generations, NA families in the United States (US) have experienced ongoing burdens from colonization-related disruptions to traditional foodways, resulting in disproportionately high prevalence of food and drinking water insecurity and related early childhood obesity. The COVID-19 pandemic f…
Protecting Native Families from Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted longstanding health inequities, particularly among American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) communities, which experienced disproportionately high morbidity and mortality. This manuscript documents the implementation, adaptation, and lessons learned from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted during a rapidly evolving pandemic context. The RCT tested two public health interventions: (1) a motivational intervie…
Pilot evaluation of a Psychological First Aid online training for Covid-19 frontline workers in American Indian/Alaska Native communities
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated mental health concerns and stress among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) in the United States, as well as among frontline workers responding to the pandemic. Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a promising intervention to support mental wellbeing and coping skills during and after traumatic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Since PFA is often implemented rapidly in the wake of a disast…
Factors Influencing Behaviors to Reduce the Spread of Covid-19 Among Indigenous Families in the Southwest, United States
Indigenous communities in the United States (U.S.) have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, yet they have led efforts to combat the pandemic by providing local solutions that minimize viral transmission and promote vaccine uptake. Understanding facilitators and barriers to recommended behaviors can increase adherence and reduce COVID-19 transmission. We conducted a descriptive qualitative study using in-depth interviews with 19 Indigeno…

Respecting diverse journeys on many roads
Translation challenges persist among early childhood evidence-based home visiting programs. There is a need for a significant shift in the field to overcome the constraints of standardized home visiting interventions. A precision framework has been identified as a method to understand what is needed to address the unique needs of families. We argue that Indigenous experiences implementing home visiting programs overlap with precision home visitin…
Centering the Strengths of American Indian Culture, Families and Communities to Overcome Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a critical Indigenous health inequity rooted in experiences of colonization and marginalization including disproportionate exposure to stressors, disruption of traditional family and food systems, and attacks on cultural practices that have led to more sedentary lifestyles. Thus, an important step in redressing inequities is building awareness of and interventions attuned to unique Indigenous contexts influencing T2D and …
Centering Indigenous Knowledges and Worldviews
Globally, Indigenous communities, leaders, mental health providers, and scholars have called for strengths-based approaches to mental health that align with Indigenous and holistic concepts of health and wellness. We applied the Indigenist Ecological Systems Model to strengths-based case examples of Indigenous youth mental health and wellness work occurring in CANZUS (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and United States). The case examples include r…

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Impact of Asdzáán Be'eená
Native American youth endure a complex interplay of factors that portend greater risk-taking behaviors and contribute to marked health disparities experienced in adolescence. The Asdzáán Be'eená ("Female Pathways" in Navajo) program was developed as a primary prevention program to prevent substance use and teen pregnancy among Navajo girls. The Asdzáán Be'eená program consists of 11 lessons delivered to dyads of girls ages 8 to 11 years and their…
Our Collective Needs and Strengths
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised national consciousness about health inequities that disproportionately impact American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities, yet urban AI/AN communities continue to remain a blind spot for health leaders and policymakers. While all United States cities have been the traditional homelands of AI/AN peoples since time immemorial, urban AI/ANs are consistently excluded in local and national health assessments, inc…
Suicide Ideation and Depression Quality of Life Ratings in a Reservation-Based Community of Native American Youths and Young Adults
Suicide among adolescents is a significant public health concern in the U.S., especially within American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities. Lack of quality of life (QoL) estimates for both suicide ideation and depression specific to the AIAN population hinders the ability to compare interventions in cost-effectiveness analysis. We surveyed 200 AI youth and young adults from the Fort Apache Indian Reservation to estimate utility weights …
Development and Dissemination of a Strengths-Based Indigenous Children's Storybook
The traditions, strengths, and resilience of communities have carried Indigenous peoples for generations. However, collective traumatic memories of past infectious diseases and the current impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in many Indigenous communities point to the need for Indigenous strengths-based public health resources. Further, recent data suggest that COVID-19 is escalating mental health and psychosocial health in…
