The research on the relationships between free-roaming dogs, also referred to as reservation dogs or rez dogs, and Indigenous communities is extremely limited. This study aimed to document the cultural significance of rez dogs, challenges related to rez dogs, and community-specific solutions for rez dog issues affecting community health and safety from members of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara (MHA) Nation, also referred to as the Three Affiliated Tribes (TAT), who live on the Fort Berthold reservation in North Dakota, U.S.A. One hour semi-structured interviews with 14 community members of the MHA Nation were conducted in 2016. The interviews were analyzed via systematic and inductive coding using Gadamer's hermeneutical phenomenology. The primary intervention areas described by the participants included: culturally relevant information sharing, improved animal control policies and practices, and improved access to veterinary care and other animal services.
对自由放养犬(也称为保留地犬或rez犬)与原住民社区之间关系的研究极为有限。本研究旨在记录rez犬的文化意义、与rez犬相关的挑战,以及由生活在美国北达科他州贝托尔德堡保留地的曼丹、希达察和阿里卡拉(MHA)民族(也称为三个附属部落(TAT))的成员提出的、针对影响社区健康和安全的rez犬问题的社区特定解决方案。2016年,对MHA民族的14名社区成员进行了一小时的半结构化访谈。访谈通过使用伽达默尔的解释学现象学进行系统的归纳编码分析。参与者描述的主要干预领域包括:分享与文化相关的信息、改进动物控制政策和做法,以及改善获得兽医护理和其他动物服务的机会。
