“…Despite these limits, unlike much of the largely theoretical HT literature (47), the HLS has provided empirical evidence of a contemporary stress response to historical colonial assaults. Previously published data suggest that the HLS is salient to many Indigenous communities and that thoughts of cultural losses negatively impact health, including substance abuse (4,13,18,19). When the HLS is treated as a stressor within "Indigenized" stress process models (23,32,33), scholars are obliged to observe its social/historical antecedents as opposed to pathologizing individual perceptions of loss.…”

“…This is not to suggest that the HLS serves as the ultimate standard for HT research nor that the HLS is a perfect operationalization of cultural loss; much more work is needed to develop and test HT constructs (e.g., see The "Colonial Trauma Response Scale" 4). Furthermore, most recent applications of the HLS (except 4,18,19) have been shared in meeting presentations or dissertation formats as opposed to peer-reviewed publication. Despite these limits, unlike much of the largely theoretical HT literature (47), the HLS has provided empirical evidence of a contemporary stress response to historical colonial assaults.…”

“…The latter includes the ways in which more proximal stressors (e.g., poverty, unemployment, family conflict) impact Indigenous health net the effects of historically anchored stress like cultural loss. Recent work, in fact, demonstrates the pervasive impact of losses operationalized via the HLS even when more proximal sources of stress (e.g., negative life events) are included in statistical models (4,10). Fourth, potentially mediating and moderating variables for the stress-distress relationship (42)including Indigenous-centered variables like cultural identity, involvement, and traditional spirituality (32,33) can be readily examined from a stress process framework (31).…”

“…HT has been defined in scholarly terms as the "cumulative emotional and psychological wounding over the lifespan and across generations emanating from massive group experiences" (Braveheart [3]; p. 5). A more recent HT definition is that of an event(s) perpetuated with genocidal/ethnocidal intent upon a group of people and their environment (4). Detailed discussions on the range of resulting outcomes (e.g., guilt, grief, anger, impaired family communication, weakened social ties) due to HT across Indigenous communities can be found elsewhere (5)(6)(7).…”

Despite growing attention to historical trauma (HT) as a key mechanism for documented Indigenous health disparities like alcohol abuse, the complexities of conceptualizing and measuring HT-related constructs have limited empirical tests of these relationships. In this article, we review the current evidence surrounding one HT measure: the Historical Loss Scale. In addition, we provide examples of the benefits of treating historical cultural losses as stressors within sociological and Indigenous stress process models of health.

“…In sum, while data and evaluation have historically been used against AI/AN communities with much documentation of research abuse (Burhansstipanov, Bemis, & Petereit, 2008;Cacari-Stone & Avila, 2012;Reverby, 2009;Walters, Beltran, Huh, & Evans-Campbell, 2011), the HNCF leadership program demonstrates a highly integrated participatory evaluation listening approach that is congruent with fellowship values and educational methodologies. Moreover, it works to strengthen the capacity of the program to make a difference across Indian Country.…”

The Healthy Native Communities Fellowship (HNCF) is a grassroots evidence-based mentorship and leadership program that develops the skills and community-building capacities of leaders and community teams to improve health status through several intermediate social and cultural mechanisms: (a) strengthening social participation (also known as social capital or cohesion); (b) strengthening cultural connectedness and revitalization of cultural identity; and (c) advocating for health-enhancing policies, practices, and programs that strengthen systems of prevention and care, as well as address the structural social determinants of health. This leadership program uses a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach and participatory evaluation to investigate how the work of local American Indian and Alaska Native leaders (fellows) and their community coalitions contributes to individual, family, and community level health outcomes.

This study describes a conceptual tool, labeled the "culture cube," developed to identify and articulate the cultural underpinnings of prevention and early intervention projects in five priority populations (i.e., African American, Asian Pacific Islander, Latino, Native American, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning), participating in the California Reducing Disparities Project Phase 2 (CRDP Phase 2). The culture cube was developed for evaluation of these practice-based evidence services (PBEs) for three purposes: (a) to focus attention on revealing and articulating more fully the operative worldview and culturally grounded frameworks underlying PBEs, explicitly identifying the links between cultural beliefs and values, community needs, and intervention design; (b) to guide the methods used to assess and evaluate PBEs so that the outcome indicators and process measures are conceptually consistent, community defined, and culturally centered; and (c) to invite communities to use their own indigenous epistemological frameworks to establish credible evidence. After reviewing the literature in this area and describing the theoretical framework for the culture cube, we describe its development, application, and the response to its use in the initial stages of the California Reducing Disparities Project-Phase 2.
