“…Estrada (2009) cites sources that illustrate the mistreatment of IMA-US by social and health agencies, which was expressed in the forms of race-based profiling, housing discrimination, educational neglect, inadequate health treatments. Related research supports findings indicating that, when conditions of inequality and injustice are found in the service delivery polices of welfare institutions, such services become iatrogenic, worsening health outcomes for the affected populations and compromising their trust in welfare organizations (Battiste 2011;Cacari-Stone and Avila 2012;Suleman et al 2018).…”

Recently, Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) have encountered an escalation in adverse social conditions and trauma events in the United States. For individuals of Mexican ancestry in the United States (IMA-US), these recent events represent the latest chapter in their history of adversity: a history that can help us understand their social and health disparities. This paper utilized a scoping review to provide a historical and interdisciplinary perspective on discussions of mental health and substance use disorders relevant to IMA-US. The scoping review process yielded 16 peer reviewed sources from various disciplines, published from 1998 through 2018. Major themes included historically traumatic events, inter-generational responses to historical trauma, and vehicles of transmission of trauma narratives. Recommendations for healing from historical and contemporary oppression are discussed. This review expands the clinical baseline knowledge relevant to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of contemporary traumatic exposures for IMA-US.

“…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.

“…In the 1960s, public health discourse regarding Latina sexuality, fertility, and reproduction culminated in a systematic public health policy and practice aimed at controlling population growth through normative sterilization and abortion as a common birth control method among Latina women living in Puerto Rico. The outcome of these policies made women of childbearing age in Puerto Rico more than 10 times more likely to be sterilized than were women from the United States (Cacari- Stone & Avila, 2012). Today, Latina refugees and immigrants who have been taken into ICE custody at the detention camps (i.e., Irwin County Detention Center, Georgia) are the recent victims of forced sterilization (National Public Radio, 2020).…”

El Nacimiento del Pueblo Mestizo: Critical Discourse on Historical Trauma, Community Resilience and Healing

Purpose. Historical trauma has been widely applied to American Indian/Alaska Native and other Indigenous populations and includes dimensions of language, sociocultural, and land losses and associated physical and mental disorders, as well as economic hardships. Insufficient evidence remains on the experiences of historical trauma due to waves of colonization for mixed-race Mexican people with indigenous ancestry (el pueblo mestizo). Research Question. Drawing from our critical lenses and epistemic advantages as indigenous feminist scholars, we ask, “How can historical trauma be understood through present-day discourse of two mestizo communities? What are public health practice and policy implications for healing historical trauma among mestizo populations?” Methodology and Approach. We analyzed the discourse from two community projects: focus groups and ethnographic field notes from a study in the U.S.–Mexico border region (2012–2014) and field notes and digital stories from a service-learning course in northern New Mexico (2016–2018). Findings. Our analysis describes the social and historical experiences of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, Chicanas/os, and Nuevo Mexicano peoples in the southwestern border region of the United States. We found four salient themes as manifestations of “soul-wound”: (1) violence/fear, (2) discrimination/shame, (3) loss, and (4) deep sorrow. Themes mitigating the trauma were community resiliency rooted in “querencia” (deep connection to land/home/people) and “conscientizacion” (critical consciousness). Conclusion. Historical trauma experienced by mestizo Latinx communities is rooted in local cultural and intergenerational narratives that link traumatic events in the historic past to contemporary local experiences. Future public health interventions should draw on culturally centered strength-based resilience approaches for healing trauma and advancing health equity.
