Title: Employing a Harm-Reduction Approach Between Women and Girls Within Indigenous Familial Relationships.
Authors: Cooper, Elizabeth, Driedger, S. Michelle, Lavoie, Josée G.
Source: Culture, Medicine & Psychiatry. Mar2019, Vol. 43 Issue 1, p134-159. 26p. 2 Color Photographs, 1 Black and White Photograph.
Subjects: Historical trauma, First Nations of Canada, Girls, Women, Harm reduction, Grandmothers
Abstract: It is important to recognize that experiences of racial and gendered violence are a sad legacy of colonialism. The experiences of historical trauma are on-going. These affect the mental and physical wellbeing of individuals, families and communities. Addressing historical trauma through community-informed practices is central to creating space for meaningful change. This paper outlines results from a seven-week activity-based research workshop conducted on three separate occasions with urban-based First Nations and Metis women and girls (aged 8-12). Using a decolonizing theoretical framework, this paper examines data collected within three specific arts-based activities: empowerment bracelets, "I'm proud of you" charm bracelets and "Who I am" pictures. Women were hesitant to discuss future plans, as many were not confident that their daughters would be in contact with their maternal families when they become teenagers. Girls observed and mimicked the thoughts and actions of their mothers, step-mothers, aunts, older sisters and grandmothers. They demonstrated the role they already play within the discourse of what it means to be female living within their communities. This paper concludes with the implicit harm reduction approach women and girls used when exploring the impacts of trauma while envisioning a healthier future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
