| Summary |
This case study details a community-engaged research process with Alaska Native people in an urban university setting. Although Alaska Native young adults demonstrate resilience in overcoming oppressive conditions, they have higher rates of behavioral health problems, partially because of cultural loss from oppressive systems. While we know that a strong cultural identity supports behavioral health and academic outcomes, little research has explored how to support cultural identity development. Consequently, we collaborated with diverse Alaska Native stakeholders, including students, staff, faculty, and Elders, and used transformational grounded theory within a decolonizing, Indigenous framework to conduct foundational research to study this topic. In this case study, we describe the developmental research that led to the creation and planned randomized controlled trial of a cultural identity development program. In particular, we focus on creating and maintaining trusting partnerships, developing collaborative research processes, and using a series of studies to build toward larger projects over time. We describe numerous lessons we learned along the way, including the need for flexibility, transparency, and reflection |
