Abstract

Historical trauma and the negative effects of colonialism continue to be played out within Canadian culture. These processes have a deleterious effect on physical and psychological health outcomes among Indigenous Peoples. Through the creation of a safe space as part of a decolonizing, participatory activity program spanning 7 weeks, First Nations and Metis women and girls (aged 8-12) were able to begin to unpack what it means to be happy, healthy, and safe, and what is needed to actualize these goals. A community engaged, asset-based workshop approach provided a forum for participants to discuss the impact of traumatic experiences on the ability of adults to model a positive image of strength, independence, and confidence for their daughters, while creating a space to discuss change.
“跌倒了就爬起来”:为城市土著妇女和女孩创造证词和见证的空间
历史创伤和殖民主义的负面影响继续在加拿大文化中上演。这些过程对土著人民的身心健康产生有害影响。通过创建一个安全的空间,作为为期7周的非殖民化、参与性活动计划的一部分,原住民和Metis妇女和女孩(8-12岁)能够开始了解快乐、健康和安全意味着什么,以及实现这些目标需要什么。社区参与、基于资产的研讨会方法为参与者提供了一个论坛,讨论创伤经历对成年人为女儿树立力量、独立和信心的积极形象的能力的影响,同时创造了一个讨论变革的空间。
