Abstract

There has been little exploration of the social and emotional wellbeing of young Indigenous populations who identify as gender and sexuality diverse. Given the vulnerability of this cohort in settler colonial societies such as Australia, Canada and the USA, wider investigation is called for in order to respond to their needs and aspirations. Using a scoping review, this paper maps existing research on the intersections of youth, gender and sexuality diversity, Indigeneity and wellbeing. The evidence points to the importance of historical and contemporary experiences tied to colonisation and intergenerational trauma. For young Indigenous gender and sexuality diverse peoples, heteronormative colonial value systems converge to produce environments characterised by racism, phobia and marginalisation. The evidence base includes deficit models based on trauma and negative outcomes. However, there is also an emerging body of research highlighting the resistance and resilience of Indigenous gender and sexuality diverse youth.

摘要

对于性别和性取向多样化的年轻土著人口的社会和情感健康几乎没有探索。鉴于这一群体在澳大利亚、加拿大和美国等移民殖民社会中的脆弱性，需要进行更广泛的调查，以满足他们的需求和愿望。通过范围审查，本文绘制了关于青年、性别和性多样性、土著和福祉的交叉点的现有研究。证据表明与殖民化和代际创伤相关的历史和当代经验的重要性。对于年轻的土著性别和性取向不同的民族，异性恋殖民价值体系汇聚在一起，产生了以种族主义、恐惧症和边缘化为特征的环境。证据基础包括基于创伤和负面结果的缺陷模型。然而，也有新兴的研究强调土著性别和性取向多样化青年的抵抗力和复原力。
