Abstract
Canadian First Nations (FN) people have experienced and continue to experience significant adversities, yet many demonstrate aspects of resilience. The aim of this qualitative study was to specifically understand Cree adults' meanings and mechanisms of resilience following maltreatment. Ten Cree adults were interviewed individually. Modified grounded theory was used to interpret the transcribed interviews. Participants discussed resilience as a journey of 'survival' and 'overcoming' and pathways to healing that were multifactorial and included traditional teachings. Mental health providers should consider and incorporate these mechanisms into treatment for Cree people, when appropriate, to aid recovery.
