Abstract
The legacy of the European diaspora across North America is fraught with grim realities as it relates to the impact on indigenous populations long-residing here. Generational trauma related to centuries of systematic cultural dismantling has ravaged tribal populations. As an RN of Scots-Irish descent practicing in western Montana among the psychiatric and corrections populations, I have had the opportunity to witness the challenges unique to the predicament of providing care to the Native population for non-Native providers. Is it possible for members of the dominant, historically oppressive culture to provide care without re-traumatizing?
