| Summary: | Community-healing models (CHMs) are effective approaches in addressing intergenerational, historical, and racial traumas within American Indian–Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals, families, and communities. While medical models of healing and White evangelical scholarship have favored individual approaches to change, growing evidence in support of CHMs in outcome research and evangelical theology is presented. CHMs understand the importance of the context in which problems develop and are sustained and consequently are uniquely suited to address the systemic nature of historical trauma and how intergenerational and racial trauma impacts People of Color and Indigenous individuals (POCI). The application of sovereignty, spirituality, and communal grief for AI/AN trauma survivors is explored. The role of community in individual identity and healing is explored as a biblical theme by both prominent White evangelical theologians and POCI Christians. The efficacy of CHMs in treating trauma within AI/AN communities provides hope for restoration within other cultural groups. |
