... Nevertheless, while studies about the impacts of IPV on abused Indigenous women are available, few describe the abuse in the context of colonialization and systemic oppression; exceptions being Brownridge et al. (2017) who incorporated the issue into their literature review, and McKinley et al. (2021) and McKenzie et al., (2022), both of whom gathered information about historical oppression in their qualitative studies. With access to a unique set of 40 indepth interviews with Indigenous women from Canada's three prairie provinces, the current study focuses on how IPV intersects with issues of colonialization. ...

... Addiction treatment models for Indigenous Peoples should provide holistic care involving the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components of health. Incorporating traditional healing practices can address the holistic needs of the patient and contribute to healing (Dell & Acoose, 2015).
