The purpose of this article is to explore how food and other cultural traditions promote wellness, cultural continuity, enculturation, and family resilience within tribal communities in the U.S. Using the Framework of Historical Oppression, Resilience, and Transcendence (FHORT), this critical ethnography examines Indigenous peoples' perspectives on and experiences with food and cultural traditions. Thematic analysis of data from 436 participants (approximately 2/3 of which were women) across two Southeastern tribes revealed a theme of "fostering the transmission of tribal knowledge and intergenerational family bonding." Traditions such as dancing, food, sewing, beadwork, basket-weaving, music, and tribal sports were some important facets of tribal culture that participants described. Food and cultural practices promoted wellness, pro-social values, and health by fostering physical activity, traditional food practices, enculturation, and social support. Cultural practices offset historical oppression and health disparities. Programs that utilize the strengths of experiential learning through family and cultural practices are highly recommended.
本文旨在探讨食物和其他文化传统如何促进美国部落社区的健康、文化延续、涵化和家庭韧性。本批判性民族志采用历史压迫、韧性和超越框架（FHORT），研究了原住民对食物和文化传统的看法和体验。对来自两个东南部部落的 436 名参与者（其中约 2/3 为女性）的数据进行主题分析后发现了一个主题，即“促进部落知识的传承和代际家庭联系”。参与者描述了舞蹈、食物、缝纫、珠饰、编织、音乐和部落运动等传统是部落文化的重要方面。食物和文化习俗通过促进身体活动、传统食物实践、涵化和社会支持来促进健康、亲社会价值观和健康。文化习俗弥补了历史压迫和健康差距。强烈建议通过家庭和文化习俗利用体验式学习的优势来开展项目。
