Summary
American Indians (AI) have survived numerous historical tragedies resulting in posttraumatic stress, unresolved historical grief, and historical trauma (Brave Heart & DeBruyn, 1998). AIs also face a heightened risk for undergoing traumatic and violent life events compared to other ethnic and racial groups (Bassett, Buchwald, & Manson, 2014). Factors such as heightened levels of enculturation and use of traditional coping methods have been linked to more positive mental and behavioral health outcomes; however, positive psychology research focused on racial/ethnic minorities is limited (Rao & Donaldson, 2015). The present study utilized the Indigenist Stress-Coping Model (ISCM) to examine the relationships between historical trauma, enculturation, and positive mental health outcomes among AIs (Walters, Simoni, & Evans-Campbell, 2002). One-hundred and twenty-one participants completed survey materials. Regression analyses demonstrated that enculturation was not found to buffer the effects of historical trauma on positive mental health; however, moderating effects were found for aspects of traditional spirituality on the relationship between historical loss-associated symptoms and integrated well-being. Results further expand our conceptualization of historical trauma and its impact on AIs. Clinical implications and future directions for research are discussed
