Native American Intervention Case Study

What if everyday in America there was not an action someone could take because someone of an opposite race sexually assaulted or domestically abused that person? Often news outlets only focus on major even in cities or towns, but never the reservations. With the lack of awareness of the number of rapes and domestic abuse victims on reservations, at large society is saying America doesn’t care due to reservations having sovereignty. Even with new laws signed into place by President Obama to deal with the rape and abuse problems to Native American women, that come from non Native Americans, the problem with this is it’s a pilot only on three tribes (Culp-Ressler,1).It is said it will expand soon, but how soon? America is not known for being

In working with any client it is important that counselors have a clear understanding and grasp of their own values, bias, beliefs, and behaviors ( Sue & Sue, 2013). Counselors should not assume that all of their clients are going to have the same values and beliefs as them. This becomes especially important in working with minority groups. As a counselor working with Native American clients it is imperative that the counselor approaches the session with an open mind a clear understanding of the difference in values. The counselor may even want to acknowledge to the client that they know there is a difference in values and beliefs and that this is ok. They may

Both sides competed for the alliance of the Natives. Most Native Americans who joined the struggle joined on th side of the British in an attempt to halt the settlers expansion westward, but many native communities remained divided on which side to support. After the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783 the British turned large swaths of native land over to the Americans and they in turn tried to treat the Natives as a conquered people which proved difficult. These difficulties coupled with the desire to continue to expand westward caused the newly formed American Government to try to buy the land from the Natives through various treaties and negotiations, this too proved difficult.

The Treatment of Native Americans on Reservations Ever since white men came to the New World, they were never at peace with the native peoples. One of the first white men to come to North America was Sir Walter Raleigh, who took the Indians he met as slaves as early as

HEALTHCARE CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE 1 Healthcare Considerations for the Native American Culture Christina Seif Mid-State Technical College HEALTHCARE CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE 2 Abstract The Native American culture is the original culture of the United States. Members of Native American tribes live throughout the country. “There are an estimated 4.9 million persons, in 565 federally recognized tribes who are classified as American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AI), alone or in combination with one or more other designated racial classifications. This demographic group compromises 1.6% of the U.S. population” (Horowitz, 2012). Wisconsin is home to the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago), Ojibwa (Chippewa), and the Potawatomi tribes (“American”, 2014). It is important for nurses within this state, as well as any other state, to understand the Native American belief system in order to provide a quality healthcare experience. Nurses are the primary point of contact in the healthcare setting. Client advocacy is one of the nurse’s major roles. Therefore, the nurse should have the highest level of diversity understanding for the cultures within the local region.

Providing Culturally Competent Care to a Native American Patient Fundamentals & Medical Surgical Nursing April 13, 2012 Providing Culturally Competent Care to a Native American Patient Introduction When caring for a Native American patient, it is imperative that the nurse provide culturally competent care. In this scenario, there are two

Washington’s native people came from Africa, Europe, and Asia, also known as the Old World. Archeologists can make a good guess on when they arrived by the age of the tools they left behind. Native Americans arrived in Washington at the minimum, 10,000 years ago. The Native Americans divided. Some went towards the coast near the Pacific Ocean, and others went to the plateau near the Columbia Basin. Between the Coastal and Plateau Native Americans in Washington, the Coastal Native Americans had the greater advantage meeting their food, clothing, and shelter needs. Although the Plateau Native Americans met their food, clothing, and shelter needs, the Coastal Native Americans had an easier time meeting these needs. This was due to the milder

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) was formed in 2006. This government agency, previously known as the Office of Indian Education Programs, controls the direction and curriculum for all Indian schools as well as managing the funding. Three legislative acts developed the roles of the BIE. The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 and The Education Amendments Act of 1978. The only more recent legislation was The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. It is the mission of the BIE to provide quality education to all Native Americans by focusing on the spiritual, mental, physical, and cultural aspects of the individual within his or her family and tribal or village context (U.S. Dept.

The societal factors that may have contributed to the health of Native Americans today are the discrimination, isolation, and poor quality of life that they experienced not only in the past but still experience today. Although we might not hear about the discrimination or poor living conditions Native Americans experience

Counseling a Native American client will often present a unique set of challenges, especially if the client has a high degree of what Horse refers to as native consciousness (2001, cited by Choudhuri et al., 2012, p. 85) in which he or she is deeply “anchored in tribal traditions and native language” (p. 85). About 37% of Native people live on over 300 reservations and tribal jurisdictions within the United States. To be prepared to help them, a counselor should know the Native demographics of the state in which they practice, be familiar with the populations and businesses of local reservations, and become educated about the customs and structures of local tribes. Native American tribes have a great diversity of fascinating culture and language, yet share many common ethnic values and tragic historical experiences with the U.S. government which contribute to their unique worldview. Perhaps the most obvious commonality among Native tribes is a strong sense of community derived from a sense having survived this common peril. Indeed, the situation of a Native person voluntarily seeking help from an outside source instead of from a traditional healer is unusual in itself (Barcus, 2003, p. 25). Whatever the Native client’s presenting problem may be, it is likely a reflection of communal conditions and beliefs. In order to successfully treat Native American clients, a counselor should use an approach that integrates Native community values and be willing to advocate and utilize

Special Education Implementation For Native American Girls Quality education for children has been an ongoing issue for today's society. There has also been an increasing concern for the education of students with special needs. The effect of these concerns has been noted in many communities, such as the Native American community. The population of special education students in the Native American communities is not necessarily higher than others, however, their community is effected, therefore also in need of quality special education programs. The need for quality special education is strongly felt by the women and girls within the Native American culture because of the pressures of their cultures and societies.

With the data presented in this paper, it is clearly demonstrating that the Indigenous Australian continue to experience major disadvantage on health and social-emotional well being outcomes than other Non-Indigenous Australian. The cultural factor and the effects of unfairly social determinants of health are clearly contribute in poor physical and psychological health experienced by numerous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It is important for both health organisation and individual health professional delivery a culture safety care, help Indigenous people to improve the capacity of the mental health workforce, and working together with them to closing the gap between Indigenous and other Australian population.

Following the end of World War II, Native American soldiers returning from the war found themselves returning to a situation in which they were treated as second-class citizens in their own country despite their impactful contributions to the war effort. The era that followed would continue to illustrate some of the issues that plagued the relationship between the government and Native American communities, which, in turn, was destructive to the aims at improving the lives of those that lived in these communities. Many of these issues stemmed from the government’s lack of awareness or insight of the culture of the tribes that they were dealing with. However, contrary to policies used in order to help sustain Native American reservations and

While working with the Native American community there are many policies that interconnect between my client and the three different level of policies. On the Macro level the policies that connect cohesively is the implementation of programs to support the functions of the Native American families Much of the funding

Soon many government Recruiters visited the Navajo reservation and selected 30 fluent navajo speakers (one dropped out, so 29 started the program). This proved to be difficult at times because many of the young Navajos had never been off the reservation making their transition to military life even more difficult. They worked night and day helping to create the code and eventually learned
