This qualitative study, part of a Canadian national study of fathers' involvement, opened up First Nations and Métis fathering as a new area of inquiry. Conversational interviews with 80 Indigenous fathers illuminated the socio-historical conditions that have shaped Indigenous men's experiences of learning to be a father and becoming a man in the context of changing gender relationships and the regeneration of circles of care. Indigenous fathers' experiences unfold in a socio-historical context fraught with difficulties. However, the study findings suggest cultural strengths and sources of resilience unseen in research and community programs driven by Euro-western perspectives. This research can inform efforts to reduce systemic barriers and reconstitute positive father involvement following disrupted intergenerational transmission of fathering in Canada and elsewhere.
这项定性研究是加拿大全国性父亲参与研究的一部分，它将第一民族和梅蒂斯人的育儿方式作为一个新的研究领域进行了探讨。与 80 名土著父亲的对话式访谈揭示了社会历史条件，这些条件塑造了土著男性在不断变化的性别关系和关怀圈再生的背景下学习成为父亲和成为男人的经验。土著父亲的经历是在充满困难的社会历史背景下展开的。然而，研究结果表明，在以欧洲-西方观点为驱动的研究和社区项目中，存在着文化优势和韧性来源。这项研究可以为减少系统性障碍和重建积极的父亲参与提供信息，从而在加拿大和其他地方打破代际传递的父亲角色的情况下，重新建立积极的父亲参与。
