Stepfamilies resulting from divorce are one of the fastest‐growing family structures. Children and youth from these family structures are at an increased risk of experiencing negative consequences, including attachment deficits, associated with parental divorce. This is even more pronounced with people of colour and especially Native Americans. The purpose of this study was to examine how parental divorce and stepfamily experience in childhood impacted Native Americans' avoidant and anxious attachment during emerging adulthood. Data from the Stepfamily Experiences Project (STEP), a retrospective survey, were used for this study. Participants consisted of 340 Native American emerging adults ages 18–30. Regression analysis revealed a significant association between the experience of parental divorce, stepfamily conditions, and adult attachment outcomes. Data indicated that adverse experiences related to parental divorce and stepfamily environments were correlated with the prevalence of insecure and anxious attachment styles. Results suggest that interventions that strengthen Native American child–parent relationships should be promoted, and findings demonstrate the need for further research that explores Native American stepfamily attachment and relationship issues
