This article draws on the stories told by Indigenous women in the midwestern United States to explore embodied experiences of violence and how they conceptualize healing in the aftermath of violence. Two focus groups-conducted as talking circles-were completed with 16 Indigenous women. Findings highlight four salient themes: embodied impacts of violence; normalization of violence; (im)possibilities of healing; and strategies for healing. In particular, the women highlighted embodied practices like collective storytelling as a means of healing. This study deepens our understanding of violence against women by promoting Indigenous ways of knowing and uplifting the voices of Indigenous women.
本文借鉴了美国中西部原住民女性讲述的故事，以探讨暴力的身体体验以及她们如何在暴力事件后构思治愈过程。与16名原住民女性完成了两个作为交流圈开展的焦点小组。研究结果突出了四个显著主题：暴力的身体影响；暴力的常态化；治愈的（不）可能性；以及治愈策略。特别是，这些女性强调了集体讲故事等身体实践作为一种治愈方式。这项研究通过推广原住民的认知方式并提升原住民女性的声音，加深了我们对暴力侵害妇女行为的理解。
