 sions Imagined for Us as Native Women
DESCRIPTION:\n\n&nbsp\;\nSeminar Title: Imaiyạchi: Transcending Histo
 rical Trauma and Living Ancestral Visions Imagined for Us as Native Women\
 nPresenter: Dr. Karina Walters\, Professor\, Katherine Hall Chambers Sch

 Work\n\nDr. Karina L. Walters (MSW\, Ph.D) is an enrolled citizen of the C

 e University of Washington. Dr. Walters has over 25 years of experience in
  social epidemiological research on the social determinants of Native Amer
 ican and Two-Spirit health well as expertise in designing culturally deriv
 ed chronic disease prevention studies (substance abuse\, HIV/AIDS\, obesit
 y\, and diabetes prevention). She has written landmark papers in the field
  of traumatic stress and health\, historical and intergenerational trauma\
 , and developed the Indigenist Stress-Coping model. Methodologically\, she
  has expertise in Indigenist methodologies and in designing community and 
 land-based\, culturally derived interventions. Dr. Walters has served as P

 California\, Los Angeles. Prior to UW\, Dr. Walters served on faculty at C
 olumbia University School of Social Work (1995-2001).\n\nTalk Summary: Am
 erican Indian community discourse suggests that historical trauma can pot
 entially become embodied in risk behaviors and that these factors may pla
 y a significant role in present-day health inequities. Historical trauma w
 hich consists of traumatic events targeting a community that cause catastr
 ophic upheaval\, have been posited by Native communities to have perniciou
 s intergenerational effects through a myriad of mechanisms from biological
  to behavioral. Consistent with our tribal systems of knowledge\, it is cr
 itical that we identify health promotion approaches rooted in the strength
 s of our tribal knowledges and vision of life\, wellness\, and health held
  for us by our ancestors in designing health promotion interventions- part
 icularly those interventions that address historical trauma. This presenta
 tion provides an overview of innovations in designing culturally derived h
 ealth promotion approaches to addressing historical trauma and transcendin
 g the trauma with a particular focus on American Indian and Alaska Native 
 women. Specifically\, this presentation will describe the Yappalli Choctaw
  Road to Health\, a culturally focused\, strengths-based outdoor experient
 ial obesity-substance abuse risk prevention and health leadership program 
 designed to develop 150 Choctaw women health leaders throughout Choctaw te
 rritory.  Highlights include our theoretical innovation in creating a Cho
 ctaw-specific health promotion model for behavioral change grounded in our
  ancient teachings and the vision that our ancestors held for us in transc
 ending historical trauma.\n\n&nbsp\;
