Indigenous peoples have not only experienced a devastating rate of historical loss of lives, they are more likely to experience mortality disparities. The purpose of this article is to examine Indigenous women's lived experiences of grief and loss in two Southeastern tribes and the relationship between depressive symptoms and recent loss of a loved one. Our exploratory sequential mixed-methods research was informed by the Indigenous based Framework of Historical Oppression, Resilience, and Transcendence (FHORT). We summarized key qualitative themes from ethnographic data from 287 female participants across the two tribes, collected through focus groups, family interviews, and individual interviews. We then quantitatively examined how these themes predicted depressive outcomes among 127 respondents. Specifically, we examined associations between depressive symptoms and components of historical oppression-historical loss, loss of lives, and the presence of PTSD symptoms-along with resilience and transcendence.
原住民不仅经历了历史上生命损失的毁灭性速度，而且更有可能经历死亡率的差异。本文的目的是探讨两个东南部部落的原住民妇女在悲伤和失落方面的生活经历，以及抑郁症状与最近失去亲人之间的关系。我们的探索性顺序混合方法研究是受基于原住民的历史压迫、韧性和超越框架（FHORT）启发。我们从两个部落的 287 名女性参与者的人种学数据中总结了关键的定性主题，这些数据是通过焦点小组、家庭访谈和个人访谈收集的。然后，我们定量研究了这些主题如何预测 127 名受访者的抑郁结果。具体来说，我们研究了抑郁症状与历史压迫的组成部分（历史损失、生命损失和 PTSD 症状的存在）以及韧性和超越之间的关联。
