Native Americans represent diverse cultures and tribes, and counseling approaches should recognize each person's uniqueness. Understanding historical trauma from colonization helps explain contemporary issues like high rates of substance abuse and domestic violence. Effective counseling involves respect, flexibility, observing a client's cultural framework rather than assumptions, and addressing both individual and community needs through culturally-appropriate interventions. Humor can be a powerful tool when used sensitively and with the client's lead.

Race and ethnicity are used to categorize certain sections of the population. In basic terms, race describes physical traits, and ethnicity refers to cultural identification. Race may also be identified as something you inherit while ethnicity is something you learn.
Whiteness, White Supremacy and White PosessionAlana Lentin
This week will examine the role of race in upholding white supremacy on both a national and a global scale. We will look at whiteness as a form of possession and/or property. We will think about how whiteness works as an institution of power even if it associates itself with white-skinned people. We will ask how white advantage works in everyday situations. We will examine the concepts of ‘White Ignorance’, ‘White Innocence’ and ‘White Fragility’. We will examine the recent re-emergence of white supremacist movements in Australia and elsewhere and consider how they are attached to more everyday forms of whiteness. Finally, we will ask whether or not it is possible or desirable to dismantle and/or leave whiteness. What would refusing the benefits accrued through whiteness mean in a practical sense?
The report was submitted for the course "Sociology" at IIIT-Delhi in collaboration with Shubham Singhal and Deepanker Agarwal under the guidance of Dr. Duru Arun Kumar.
The report explains racism,its causes, its effect and people's attitude towards racism.

Working with Ethnic Diversity in a Pluralistic SocietyHuman di.docxambersalomon88660
Working with Ethnic Diversity in a Pluralistic Society
Human diversity is a significant factor in working with all people. It is not only a determinant of individual and social functioning; it also affects every aspect of practice in human service. Only when human service workers are sensitive to differences among people, knowledgeable about their causes and effects, and skillful in recognizing and working with them will practice be effective. Although dealing with diversity has always been a part of education for practice, its importance has become increasingly obvious in the last half century. his increased awareness has been sparked by major historical changes. he civil rights movement of the 1960s forced into the forefront of U.S. consciousness awareness of the existence of groups of people within the society who, because of their differences, were denied access to many of its benefits and were subject to personal and institutional discrimination. Changes that came as a result of this movement are reflected in laws and institutions, and minority people themselves have learned that as groups they possess strength, can effect social change, and can demand their rights to full participation in society. A second factor is what has been called the “new immigration” of people fleeing from economic and ecological disaster, civil unrest, wars, starvation, lack of opportunity, violence, and oppression. Earlier immigration had, for the most part, been invited and welcomed when the country was young and needed settlers and workers. However, the country is growing older and no longer needs workers, except in those instances where immigrants can be exploited, as in migrant farm or household workers. In spite of its affluence, the United States faces major problems—unemployment, poverty, crime, violence, drugs, and homelessness. Such problems most strongly affect those Working

without a stable place in the social structure, and newcomers are particularly vulnerable. Because of the destructive experiences they have undergone, newcomers may also bring physical and emotional problems, a history of malnutrition, and lack or loss of schooling. We seem to be moving toward a more pluralistic society wherein sharply different ethnic groups exist side by side, sharing in its benefits and enriching it by their diversity. Such changes do not come easily, and there will always be conflict where there are different interest groups and varying loyalties. However, the inherent strength of a democracy lies in its ability to reconcile them. People carry with them down through the generations vestiges of their original ethnicity, but as they are exposed to different cultures, adaptation takes place, and all of the people and institutions involved are changed by the process. History indicates that this adaptation can be successful until and unless populat.

2. A Caveat Although this information is presented as considerations for Native Americans as a group, it is vital to remember that each tribe is different, and each person within a tribe is unique. It is important to ask the client how their culture plays into their life. Never assume you are an expert.
3. Click to continue "Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect." Chief Seattle “This ambiguous, multivocal world makes it increasingly hard to conceive of human diversity as inscribed in bounded, independent cultures.” – James Clifford, The Predicament of Culture, 1988, p. 23 “Out of the Indian approach to life there came a great freedom, an intense and absorbing respect for life, enriching faith in a Supreme Power, and principles of truth, honesty, generosity, equity, and brotherhood as a guide to mundane relations.” Luther Standing Bear Oglala Sioux (1868-1937) Retrieved from: http://www.ilhawaii.net/~stony/quotes.html "Being Indian is an attitude, a state of mind, a way of being in harmony with all things and all beings. It is allowing the heart to be the distributor of energy on this planet; to allow feelings and sensitivities to determine where energy goes; bringing aliveness up from the Earth and from the Sky, putting it in and giving it out from the heart." - Brooke Medicine Eagle When questioned by an anthropologist on what Indians called America before the white man came, an Indian simply said, "Ours." (Deloria, 1988, p. 166) “The lack of success on the part of social workers can be attributed to a multitude of reasons but it stems, in general, from the following: (1) lack of understanding of Native American culture, (2) retention of stereotyped images of Native Americans, (3) use of standard techniques and approaches.” (Lewis, Ho, 1975). “No discoverers, no scientists, no treaties, no anthropologists, no government agents, and no missionaries of scientism have ever had the moral cause or ethical authority to determine the outcome of native rights, consciousness, or sovereignty.” – G. Vizenor, Fugitive Poses,1998, p. 76 “The impact of history might be cultural dislocation, but an astute social worker can advocate for culturally sensitive models of practice and service delivery systems for clients with Native ancestry.” – Carol L. Langer, The Effect of Selected Macro Forces on the Contemporary Social Construction of American Indian Ethnic Identity, 2005, p. 29 Song by: Olivia Tailfeathers – Universe Song, 2005

The effect of selected macro forces on the contemporary social construction of American Indian ethnic identity. Journal of Health & Social Policy, 20(2), 15-32.
15. Significant Events Ghost Dance of 1890 “An example of Native revitalization among these Western tribes Placement of Indian Children in Non-Indian Foster Homes Prior to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) of 1978, a sinister attempt at assimilation, perhaps even cultural genocide, was the placement of Indian children in non-Native homes. Formation of American Indian Movement (AIM) AIM is one of those Indian-initiated events that inspired Natives and non-Natives alike to begin to redress the many grievances of civil rights violations. In addition, Indian identity was strengthened. Langer, C.L. (2005). The effect of selected macro forces on the contemporary social construction of American Indian ethnic identity. Journal of Health & Social Policy, 20(2), 15-32.
16. The Aftermath of Historical Events Historical trauma due to what is perceived as cultural genocide “For those who work with Native American populations, understanding this history is a critical piece in the process of acquiring cultural competence.” “An understanding of this history helps to explain how and why such cultural nuances and social problems might exist among contemporary populations, including those who have been so marginalized that they might only recently have discovered their heritage. A historical and analytical model of macro identity formation begins to emerge when these historical phenomena are examined and connected. Langer, C.L. (2005). The effect of selected macro forces on the contemporary social construction of American Indian ethnic identity. Journal of Health & Social Policy, 20(2), 15-32.

Tobacco use Mistrust of non-tribal members Communication barriers Strengths Tribal sovereignty Unity Desire to care for and heal others Federally recognized IHS health system Kline, M.V. & Huff, R.M. (2007). Health and disease of American Indian and Alaska Native populations: An overview (2nd ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc. p. 355-392.
19. Native American Family Systems More of a circular pattern Everyone deserves equal respect and dignity – no one is higher than anyone else Rabbit and Turtle The rabbit moves too fast and becomes afraid of what the turtle can do. Metaphor for Western culture and Native American culture Need to be mindful that different does not mean bad Derrick, J. M. (2005). When turtle met rabbit: Native family systems. In M. Rastogi & E. Wieling (Eds.), Voices of color: First-person accounts of ethnic minority therapists (pp. 43-64). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, Inc.
20. Offering Interventions with Awareness Tobacco use has spiritual merit for Native culture, though today’s toxins in cigarettes allow smoking-related illness to be #1 cause of death in Natives. Smoking cessation courses are offered by standards are offered by national organizations, a better recommendation might be for Red Road or Talking Circle. “These models emphasize the importance of community, connection of self to everything else in harmony, and are culturally sensitive to the nature of Native spirituality.” “The ecological perspective is important to all populations, but the web of complexities surrounding Native Americans and their history with this country and the government makes use of the ecological perspective absolutely critical.”
21. Thoughts on Treatment Ben Hale, a Navajo talks about different takes on treatment and things to keep in mind when counseling and working with Native Americans. Hale, B. (2010, October 8). Part IV: Reawaken native roots: Treatment [video file]. Retrieved from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAyKoM3vPoY
22. Transcript Highlights “There are some critical factors, that I think I'd like to highlight at this point. One is that in our, in our greeting of, ah, Ms. Pete, we, I thanked her, thanked her, for having the courage to come in, for having the courage to, begin to change, ah, some things that are problematic that she identifies as problematic within her family, so that we might change the history of her family. I'm taking the stand, the stand in speaking for her relatives in a sense and thanking and honoring her, and also being honored for ah, being a part of that change. One of the other issues, that we have discussed and, and looked at is that history of struggle and, that, and what we will look at and we've got a permission to look at now, is the traumatic history of the family and how the traumatic history has basically led this family to a point where, the family is, is, seeking help, ah, from professionals. And it's, it's very important to understand when native people that's seeking help from professionals may be the hardest thing, to do. Typically native families, native individuals will not come in under their own volition but through the suggestion of someone else or even the pressure of someone else. In that respect, we talk about changing the family history by beginning to make the individuals within the immediate family healthier by setting out on a road of traditional healing that is congruent with what, the mother has already identified as her goals. “ Microtraining Associates.

23. Use of Humor with Native Americans The stereotype of the “Stoic Indian” Part of self-control and listening, but also recognize importance of humor Storytelling as a means of communication Can take several different forms: Teasing, storytelling, anecdotes, dances, songs, etc. Garrett, M.T., Garrett, J. T., Torres-Rivera, E., Wilbur, M., & Roberts-Wilbur, J. (2005). Laughing it up: Native American humor as spiritual tradition. Journal of Multicultural Counseling & Development, 33(4), p.194-204.

24. One Liners from Native Americans A young Indian was asked one day what a peace treaty was. He replied, "That's when the white man wants apiece of your land." (Deloria, 1988, p. 166) A Pueblo artist was quizzed one day on why Indians were the first ones on this continent. "We had reservations," was his reply. (Deloria, 1988, p. 166) Question: Are you a full-blooded Indian? Reply: No, I'm a pint low, I just came from the blood bank. (Northrup, 1997, p. 2) Question: Do Indians have psychic powers? Reply: I knew you were going to ask me that, I just knew it. (Northrup, 1997, p. 12) Question: Why is the white man in such a hurry to get to Mars? Reply: They think we have land there. (Northrup, 1997, p. 13) An Indian woman of mixed ancestry was giving a talk once to an audience in which a heckler remarked to the speaker, "You don't look Indian," and the speaker quickly retorted, "You don't look rude." (M. T. Garrett, personal communication)
25. Implications for Counseling with Humor Implications Powerful tool, especially with Native Americans Can be used to develop deeper and more intimate relationship Be aware of culturally relevant acceptable topics for humor Allow client to initiate humor as a tool Cautions Should not be used when: Avoiding client’s feelings Viewed by client as unrelated to counseling Perceived as insulting Used too frequently Used at inappropriate times
26. Gay Lesbian and Bisexual Native Americans Natives are more likely to be accepting of someone being gay or bisexual in Native American culture, as their capacity for acceptance is less dichotomous than the general public (in terms of identification). “When considering sexual dimension, sexual orientation is something one discovers over time, sexual behavior is what one does, and sexual identity is a label one chooses”. Appropriate term in Native culture for someone who identifies with homosexuality or bisexuality is “Two Spirit”, meaning that the individual identifies with both male and female spirits. This term, however, can be identified differently depending on the variation of tribal culture language. Garret, M.T.; Barrett, B. (2003). Two Spirit: Counseling Native American gay, lesbian, and bisexual people. Journal of Multicultural Counseling & Development, 31(2), 131-142.
28. Traits to Keep in Mind Sharing is more important than punctuality. Independence, Individuality, and Respect. To attain maturity one must face great suffering. Testament to endurance of their culture by surviving the onslaught of white man. “the courage to be” ~ Humor :) Spiritual belief of both good and bad. Sign of respect to not look people in the eye. Lewis, R.G., Ho, M.K. (1975). Social work with Native Americans. Social Work. 20 (5), 379-382.
29. Misconceptions The Native American is pessimistic, low-spirited, unhappy and without hope. Should instead be regarded as “optimistic toughness” The Native American is quiet, stoic and vulnerable. Is actually a control of emotions and poise, as well as a potential mistrust of non-Natives. Lewis, R.G., Ho, M.K. (1975). Social work with Native Americans. Social Work. 20 (5), 379-382.
30. Engaging with a Native American Client Client might perceive a non-Native clinician as a coercive figure of authority. Client will not be impressed with academic standing of clinician. “willingness and capacity to share depend mutual consideration, respect, and non-coercion.” Worker’s advice should be objective and flexible In order to best “determine the appropriate techniques for helping a Native American client deal with personal and psychological problems, the worker should carefully observe the client’s cultural framework and his degree of defensiveness”. Lewis, R.G., Ho, M.K. (1975). Social work with Native Americans. Social Work. 20 (5), 379-382.
