Description
The purpose of this phenomenological study is to understand what resilience factors contribute to the reversal of adverse reactions to intergenerational trauma, in Native American children. The study will attempt to use the data collected to determine the implementation of support that will build a scaffolding of resilience benefitting Native American Children. The theory guiding this study is the resiliency theory, which conceptualizes positive variables that guide behaviors in individuals who have been exposed to historical trauma and experienced, Adverse Childhood Effects (ACEs) (Zimmerman, 2013). Using an exploratory qualitative design, this study worked to gather data from the Lower Elwha community, a Native American Tribe along the coast of Washington State. Recently there has been a growing interest in the study of Adverse Childhood Effects (ACEs), and the part that resiliency plays in individual outcomes. However, these studies have not been applied to the Native American population and have not accounted for historical generational trauma. For this study to represent Native American peoples as a larger population, we considered the differences in how the S’Klallam tribal members viewed trauma and the severity of their experience. Data was collected from three S'Klallam tribal bands along the coast of Washington state. The collection process included in-depth interviews using the Conceptual Mapping Task (CMT).
