Behavioral Sciences Behaviorial Sciences Cultural Anthropology Health Health Care Native Americans medical anthropology cultural psychology self identity native american american indian diabetes storied experience historical trauma There is a plethora of evidence in the literature demonstrating a significant disproportionate burden of illness on American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) populations regarding diabetes. AI/AN populations also have a unique history in the United States and Canada, and new and emerging research on historical trauma has revealed how the suffering from years past coupled with ongoing oppression and discrimination impact people. Furthermore, historical trauma has been implicated in a variety of poor health outcomes. The research described herein explores participant understandings of diabetes, health, self, identity, and historical trauma. The 49 interviews from 13 participants contain over 1100 stories, which participants used to help the researcher see how they experience the world and the concepts above. The data demonstrate how participants understand the concepts of diabetes, health, self, identity, and historical trauma in a way that is similar to Firstness, as put forth by C.S. Peirce. This quality of experience is both experienced and communicated through storied experience. Storied experience creates an understanding of self/other whereby the self and the other don’t exist as separate entities but instead exist as a unique instantiation of self/other. This research contributes to the larger discussion on self, identity, and historical trauma through the analysis of storied experience. Using storied experience, participants were able to show how the “content” of historical trauma not only happened in the past but continues to cohabitate with individuals and communities in the present. 2021-06-21 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1619788906764408 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1619788906764408 restricted--full text unavailable until 2023-05-30 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
