National Collaborating Centre for Aboriginal Health: Aboriginal Peoples and Historic Trauma: The process of intergenerational transmission


The report Aboriginal Peoples and Historic Trauma: The Processes of Intergenerational Transmission (2015) by National Collaborating Centre for Aboriginal Health delves into how colonial‑era policies like the residential‑school system and child‑welfare removals have generated trauma for Indigenous peoples in Canada, and how that trauma continues to be transmitted across generations through psychological, physiological and social pathways.
