Historical Wounds, Present Realities
This training explores the concept of historical trauma and its lasting impact on American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. Participants will gain an understanding of what historical trauma is, including the collective and intergenerational experiences that have shaped Native communities over time. The presentation will highlight key historical events and policies that have contributed to trauma and examine how these experiences continue to influence the health, well-being, and daily lives of AI/AN individuals today. Participants will also learn strategies for promoting healing, including culturally grounded approaches, and will identify protective factors that foster resilience in Native youth, families, and communities. This session provides an opportunity to deepen understanding and support culturally responsive engagement rooted in empathy, respect, and strength-based perspectives.
