Indigenous peoples of the United States tend to experience the most severe social, behavioral, and physical health disparities of any ethnic minority. This critical ethnography uses the framework of historical oppression, resilience, and transcendence to examine indigenous peoples' perspectives on and experiences with subsistence living, investigating how subsistence living may contribute to well-being and resilience by promoting physical exercise, a healthy diet, and psychological health. Thematic analysis of data from 436 participants across two southeastern tribes reveals three overarching themes: fostering fond memories and family bonding through "living off the land," enabling experiential intergenerational teaching and learning, and promoting resourcefulness and offsetting economic marginalization. Results indicate that subsistence is an important avenue to promote sustainable and organic approaches to health and well-being within indigenous communities by facilitating positive nutrition and diet, exercise, and subjective well-being.
美国原住民往往是所有少数族裔中社会、行为和身体健康差距最为严重的群体。这部重要的民族志运用历史压迫、复原力和超越的框架，来审视原住民对自给自足生活的看法和经历，探究自给自足生活如何通过促进体育锻炼、健康饮食和心理健康来增进福祉和复原力。对来自东南部两个部落的436名参与者的数据进行的主题分析揭示了三个总体主题：通过“靠土地生活”培养美好回忆和家庭纽带、实现经验性的代际教学与学习，以及促进足智多谋并抵消经济边缘化。结果表明，自给自足是通过促进积极的营养和饮食、锻炼以及主观幸福感，在原住民社区内推广可持续和有机健康与福祉方法的重要途径。
