ArticleSeries: Journal of Indigenous ResearchPublication details: Utah State University, 2017Subject(s): Online resources:
In: Journal of Indigenous Research, 2017, 6(1): 1-16Summary: "The aim of this paper is to present a case for reframing Māori (the indigenous people of New Zealand) suicide prevention research away from a strong emphasis on clinical research towards research that is more self-determining and historically and culturally contextualised. Rising levels of indigenous suicide have produced an intensified global focus on suicide prevention in indigenous, migrant and LGBTIQ populations.
Suicide research in Aotearoa/New Zealand has largely disregarded the potential explanatory power of historical trauma and the inter-generational transfer of collective suffering on Māori, (the indigenous peoples of New Zealand) suicide levels. Similarly, the effects of regular exposure to racism, daily micro-aggressions and structural violence are often overlooked as
explanatory of Māori suicide. (From the abstract). Record #5548
