In October 2021, the American Psychological Association apologized to people of color in the United States for its role in systemic racism. Spurred by a national racial reckoning, Indigenous Peoples have been regularly incorporated into initiatives redressing America's legacy of racism. Although Indigenous Peoples have been racialized during the formation of the United States, this process is intertwined with colonization-the systematic dispossession and exploitation of Indigenous communities by Europeans. We first examine how the American Psychological Association (APA) has been complicit in colonialism by failing to oppose government policies that disenfranchise Indigenous communities, which it recently recognized in a separate apology to First Peoples in the United States in February 2023 (American Psychological Association, APA Indigenous Apology Work Group [APA IAWG], 2023). Second, we explore methods for APA to reconcile historical and contemporary wrongs inflicted on Indigenous Peoples through transitional justice, an approach to addressing human rights violations that seeks justice and opportunities for healing (United Nations, 2008). In particular, we consider the implications that Truth and Reconciliation Commissions have for Indigenous Peoples. Third, we provide recommendations for APA to repair relations with Indigenous Peoples in education, research, and practice. We specifically interrogate what possibilities for truth, reconciliation, and healing exist vis-à-vis transitional justice in psychology. We conclude with the potential that APA has to advance meaningful structural reforms while cautioning against superficial efforts towards reconciliation.

真相与和解是为了谁？美国心理学中原住民的过渡正义。


2021 年 10 月，美国心理学会就其在系统性种族主义中所扮演的角色向美国有色人种道歉。在全国种族清算的推动下，土著人民经常被纳入纠正美国种族主义遗产的倡议中。尽管原住民在美国形成过程中已经被种族化，但这一过程与殖民化——欧洲人对原住民社区的系统性剥夺和剥削——交织在一起。我们首先研究美国心理学会 (APA) 如何因未能反对剥夺原住民社区权利的政府政策而成为殖民主义的同谋，该协会最近在 2023 年 2 月向美国原住民单独道歉时承认了这一点（美国心理学会， APA 原住民道歉工作组 [APA IAWG]，2023）。其次，我们探索 APA 通过过渡司法来调和原住民遭受的历史和当代错误的方法，这是一种解决侵犯人权行为并寻求正义和治愈机会的方法（联合国，2008 年）。我们特别考虑真相与和解委员会对土著人民的影响。第三，我们为 APA 提供建议，以修复与原住民在教育、研究和实践方面的关系。我们特别询问心理学中的过渡正义存在哪些真相、和解和治愈的可能性。我们得出的结论是，APA 必须推进有意义的结构性改革，同时警告不要为和解做出肤浅的努力。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
