Abstract Indigenous cultures have been under significant attack in Canada since first contact with Europeans. This has resulted in significant harm to Indigenous Peoples and particularly to youth in state care, who often struggle with their identity when they are placed in non-Indigenous out-of-home settings. Developing protective ways of countering this is compounded by the lack of understanding of identity development amongst Indigenous youth. This article reviews theories of Indigenous identity development and their implications for Indigenous children, particularly those caught in the nexus of two cultures, as is the case with those in state care.

在照顾中培养土著青年的身份

摘要 自从与欧洲人第一次接触以来，加拿大的土著文化就受到了严重的攻击。这对原住民造成了重大伤害，特别是对受国家照料的青年人造成了重大伤害，当他们被安置在非原住民的户外环境中时，他们经常与自己的身份作斗争。由于缺乏对土著青年身份发展的理解，开发出保护性的方法来应对这种情况。本文回顾了原住民身份发展的理论及其对原住民儿童的影响，特别是那些处于两种文化联系中的儿童，就像在国家照料中的儿童一样。
