Although all minorities experience inequalities, indigenous peoples in the United States tend to experience the most severe violent victimization. Until now, an organizing framework to explain or address the disproportionate rates of violent victimization was absent. Thus, the purpose of this conceptual article is to (a) introduce the concept of historical oppression, expanding the concept of historical trauma to make it inclusive of contemporary oppression; (b) describe the framework of historical oppression, resilience, and transcendence, which draws from distinct but related theoretical frameworks (that is, critical theory and resilience theory); and (c) apply the framework of historical oppression, resilience, and transcendence to the problem of violence against indigenous women. The proposed framework of historical oppression, resilience, and transcendence prioritizes social justice and strengths; it provides a culturally relevant framework, which can be used to explain, predict, and prevent violence. The article concludes with recommendations for future research, implications for practice, and recommended applications to other problems and populations.
尽管所有少数群体都面临不平等，但美国的原住民往往遭受最严重的暴力侵害。到目前为止，还缺乏一个用以解释或解决暴力侵害比例过高问题的组织框架。因此，这篇概念性文章的目的是：(a) 引入历史压迫的概念，扩展历史创伤的概念，使其涵盖当代压迫；(b) 描述历史压迫、复原力和超越的框架，该框架借鉴了不同但相关的理论框架（即批判理论和复原力理论）；(c) 将历史压迫、复原力和超越的框架应用于针对原住民妇女的暴力问题。所提出的历史压迫、复原力和超越框架将社会正义和优势置于优先地位；它提供了一个与文化相关的框架，可用于解释、预测和预防暴力。文章最后提出了对未来研究的建议、对实践的启示以及对其他问题和人群的推荐应用。
