Indigenous Health
land
so many tribes now in so little space, very geographically different than where they used to practice
acan not truly practice how they once did because the land is so important to various practices
robbed them of original understanding of land
cultural erasion
geographic separation of Hawaii and Alaska
easy to fall into pit fall of they're not taking care of their health
"they need to pick themself up from their bootstraps like others have"
own governments, own health care systems, NOT FUNDED
historical trauma
transmitted over generations
similar for Holoaust, Japanese Internment, Armenian Holocaust
physical health issues
aging of eggs and mitochondrial DNA
compounding effects of residential schools, not understanding how to parent, childhood trauma from parents who experienced alcoholism and more because of the trauma they experiences
VICIOUS CYCLE
ingrained that their traditions were bad, "everyone knew the Indian would die"
Holocaust: do we educate so much on it versus other because America is the savior instead of the problem like in the other historical events?
FPDIR: poorly funded, lack of nutrition
the splitting of tribes into different states and even different countries!!!
if so many tribes, we do we only nationally recognize and only help certain ones?
