Indigenous Youth in Schools: Consequences of Colonialism and Advocating for a Better Future
Aguilar, Lisa N.; Shearin, Jessica; Wamnuga-Win; Mojica, Karina
Communique, v50 n1 p1, 26-30 Sep 2021
Indigenous in this article, refers to and be inclusive of Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians in the United States of America. School psychologists possess the skills to advocate for Indigenous youth and help improve their educational outcomes in schools. To do this work, it becomes necessary to confront the history of colonization, understand its effect on students and families, and identify strategies to reduce the risks posed. This article identifies five general consequences of colonization, provide brief examples of each, and recommend advocacy strategies for school psychologists to address these consequences. While each consequence is presented separately, they are implicitly tied together, as colonialism is a multifaceted and pervasive force (Asante, 2006).
