Historic trauma stems from relocation, disease, residential schools, the Indian Act, and racial policies meant to assimilate and eradicate Aboriginal people (First Nations Health Council, 2011). Contact between Aboriginal Peoples and non-Aboriginals facilitated the spread of epidemic diseases which lead to the Aboriginal population collapse (First Nations Health Council, 2011). Daschuk, Hackett and MacNeil (2006) note that different severities of diseases experienced by First Nations were directly related to the new realities of the First Nations peoples as they struggled to adapt to the world of the colonisers including economic dislocation, political changes, and changes from traditional diets all created the perfect environment for breading diseases. The government and churches actively colonized and controlled Aboriginal peoples by eroding all Aboriginal systems including “spirituality, political authority, education, health care systems, land and resource access, and cultural practices” (First Nations Health Council, 2011, p. 13). It is important to recognize that colonial structures have purposely sought to “eliminate Indigenous sovereignty, Indigenous governments and Indigenous constitutional orders” (Ladner, 2009, p. 90).

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health problem that develops following exposure to a stressful event or a situation of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic nature. These symptoms are grouped into four types: intrusive memories, avoidance, negative changes in thinking and mood, and changes in emotional reaction. Being exposed to such an event can challenge our belief that life is fair and affect our sense of security and safety. One main hallmark of PTSD is that the individual re-experiences symptoms in a vivid or distressing way, and this often occurs nightmares or flashbacks. Also, traumatic child loss is a major trigger in PTSD.
