Native Americans report high rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs are correlated with a variety of negative outcomes in adulthood and can be attributed in part to historical trauma. Participation in indigenous practices, family support, and social connectedness can contribute to the resilience needed to cope with the adverse impact of ACEs.
