“…Extended families includes households in close geographic proximity or can extend over broad geographic regions and assume interstate dimension (Red Horse, 1980b). Family membership usually is not restricted to boundaries; blood relatives as well as non-kin can be included in the extended family (Red Horse, 1980b).…”

“…Grandparents provided the affection, the sense of believing in self and the sense of "being"--being wanted and important in the world for the children. Extended Indian family systems foster interdependence of family members, whereas Western family systems encourage independence of family members (Red Horse, 1980b). Indian family behavior stresses collateral relationships in which family involvement, approval, and pride are highlighted.…”

“…Red Horse (1980b) describes how the extended Indian family develops through three major life-span phases: 1) being cared for, 2) preparing to care for, and 3) assuming care for. Life span phases are not necessarily controlled according to age, but according to family or ~ultural role.…”

The purpose of this study was to identify the social process of infant care among Cherokee mothers. Nineteen informants, who had an infant less than 2 years of age, were interviewed. The data were analyzed using the technique of constant comparative analysis. A social process of Indian infant care among Cherokee mothers was identified. Eight conceptsemerged from data analysis. The first and principal concept, being a Cherokee mother, describes the functions of being an Indian mother in Cherokee society. The other seven concepts describe the patterns of cultural care the mothers provided to their infants. These included accommodating everyday infant care, accommodating health perspectives, building a care-providing consortium, living spiritually, merging the infant into Indian culture, using noncoercive discipline techniques, and vigilantly watching for the natural unfolding of the infant. Trustworthiness and credibility of the generated theory were evaluated through multiple measures.

Partnerships are essential to disaster recovery. U.S. Government and American Indian Nations live on mutual soil and must partner when disasters occur. However, they have a long history of broken promises and lost trust. The government-to-government policy initiated by President Clinton in 1994 was first used in disaster management on a small Sioux reservation in the northern plains of the U.S. The government-to-government policy is demonstrably effective when disaster planning and practices are culturally congruent with Tribal nations' values and lived realities. This paper explicates cultural congruence of the government-to-government policy with the history of the Sioux Tribe and highlights recent improvements in disaster recovery efforts resulting from use of the 1994 policy.

The Native American family has faced many difficulties since the beginning of the development of Euro‐American culture, including the forced removal of children from families during the 1960s by the US government. As a result of the pressure to accept capitalistic traditions, many Native American families have been forced to adapt despite their typically interdependent heritage. As of 2010 there were 5.2 million individuals within the United States who identify as having American Indian or Alaskan Native origin. In the same year there were 565 federally recognized tribes throughout the United States to which these individuals belonged. Native Americans have been identified as the most impoverished ethnic group in the United States, which has resulted in many families seeking employment off the reservations, putting strain on the traditional values of tribes and influencing the current roles and obligations of many Native American families.
