All children navigate the world by searching for information in their sociocultural contexts (e.g., schools, media, laws) to make sense of their experiences and potential futures. In doing so, Native children, however, must contend with the legacy and ongoing oppression of their Peoples, communities, and ways of being. In this manuscript, we highlight how sociocultural contexts stemming from settler colonialism undermine Native futures. We detail how settler colonialism, specifically its manifestation in acts of omission and misrepresentation, impacts children's self and identity development, and intergroup relations. We close by acknowledging the importance of understanding development in context, and the power that the representational landscape can have for promoting paths toward positive child development and greater equity.

“哦，你会去的地方”：遗漏和虚假陈述对原住民儿童的心理影响


所有儿童都通过搜索其社会文化背景（例如学校、媒体、法律）中的信息来了解他们的经历和潜在的未来，从而在世界上导航。然而，在此过程中，原住民儿童必须与他们的人民、社区和存在方式的遗留和持续压迫作斗争。在这份手稿中，我们强调了源于定居者殖民主义的社会文化背景如何破坏原住民的未来。我们详细介绍了定居者殖民主义，特别是其表现为疏忽和歪曲行为，如何影响儿童的自我和身份发展以及群体间关系。最后，我们承认在上下文中理解发展的重要性，以及代表性景观在促进儿童积极发展和更大公平方面的力量。
