Abstract

A review of the pertinent literature and interviews of key informants provided the basis for an exploration into the historical antecedents of some of the mental health and family issues of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw (CTCLUS) Indians of Oregon. This project was originally commissioned by the CTCLUS community to be a chapter in their Tribal Plan, explaining the historical context of this tribe in relation to national American Indian events. Key historical events that have impacted this community include boarding schools, termination, the Dawes Act, and racism. Key mental health issues that have followed these events include substance, abuse, domestic violence, and a lack of parenting skills.
