The impact of historical trauma on Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities is widespread and ongoing. Each community has diverse and distinct histories, cultures, traditions, and strengths, but they face many shared challenges stemming from colonization. The response, as noted by Dr. Clayton Small of Native P.R.I.D.E and many other Native leaders, needs to be rooted in community and culture.
Join Pathways to Resilience to learn about Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander acts of resilience and the ways in which state agencies can support healing from and mitigation of trauma and toxic stress among these communities.
We will be joined by Tia Hartsock, Executive Director of the Hawai’i Governor’s Office of Wellness & Resilience; Adriann Ricker, MPH, Community-Based Researcher, Indigenous Health PhD candidate at the University of North Dakota, and former RWJF Research Fellow focusing on Trauma Informed Policy on Fort Peck Reservation; and Dr. Clayton Small, CEO and lead trainer of Native P.R.I.D.E. (Prevention, Research, Intervention, Development, Education).
