Traditional Knowledge Holders and Practitioners
Native Americans in the US experienced disproportionate risks of COVID-19 infection and mortality. Despite these adversities, Native Americans relied on the world view and lessons of their cultural teachings, as strategies to find personal solace and social harmony amid the crisis. Traditional Knowledge Holders and Practitioners (TKHPs) reinforced these survival strategies and were essentially first responders. In 2021, 22 TKHPs from three Arizon…
Exploring the Role of Indigenous Determinants of Health in the Resilience of Native Nations during Covid-19
American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) were disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, experiencing excess hospitalization, mortality, and economic losses compared to the non- Hispanic Whites. This study sought to document the Indigenous determinants of health (IDOH) in AI/AN communities that shaped mental wellbeing for four groups: educators, traditional knowledge holders/practitioners, first responders, and substance abuse reco…
Recommendations for Modernizing a Culturally Grounded Substance Use Prevention Program for American Indian and Alaska Native Youth
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth use alcohol and drugs at a higher rate with earlier onset than the overall youth population in the United States. Youth interventions are needed to support the prevention and reduction of substance misuse-related issues. Connecting AI/AN children to their heritage through culturally grounded prevention programs has been shown to be more effective than programs designed for the general population. Th…
Virtual elective placements for medical students during Covid‐19
In late 2020 with international electives for Australian students cancelled, three final year medical students from the University of Sydney turned their attention to unique clinical experiences available at their doorstep. For students in their final year, it is an opportunity to prepare for clinical practice by exploring different clinical environments and expanding their understanding of medicine in a global context. With the COVID-19 pandemic…
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…
Native Spirit
Culturally grounded after‐school programs (ASPs), based on local cultural values and practices, are often developed and implemented by and for the local community. Culturally grounded programs promote health and well‐being for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) adolescents by allowing them to reconnect to cultural teachings that have faced attempted historical and contemporary erasure. This article is a first‐person account that describes …
Between Two Worlds
The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating global and national impacts including major loss of life, economic downturns, and ongoing impairments to mental and physical health. Conducting health research has remained a priority and has helped mitigate some of the COVID-19 devastation; however, challenges to research have arisen due to COVID-19 prevention strategies and changing community priorities for research. The purpose of this article is to fo…
Participation in a Culturally Grounded Program Strengthens Cultural Identity, Self-esteem, and Resilience in Urban Indigenous Adolescents
Culturally grounded after-school programs (ASPs) aim to promote health and well-being among Indigenous youth. Native Spirit is a 10-session ASP that focuses on local cultural values and activities facilitated by local cultural practitioners. This pilot study used a single group, pretest-posttest design (N = 18) with Indigenous adolescents in grades 7-12 and conducted participant interviews (N = 11) to assess the impact of the program on cultural …
The Research Imagination During Covid-19
This article explores some of the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has served as a collective critical event for anthropologists and other social scientists, examining how it has promoted new configurations of the research imagination. We draw on our own experiences of participating in a team of 17 researchers, hailing from anthropology and anthropology-adjacent disciplines, to research social life in Aotearoa/New Zealand during the pandemic, …
