Six studies used culturally validated strength-based tools to measure resilience, while two relied on Western constructs. Most studies emphasized the need for strategies to strengthen individual or community connection to culture to foster resilience. Eight publications drew on Aboriginal constructs of resilience in examining the effectiveness of programs, processes, and practices to promote individual and/or collective resilience and well-being. The review involved the participation of local Aboriginal Research Cultural Advisory Groups who participated and approved the analysis of the findings and collaborated on the design and writing of the paper. A scoping review was conducted and reported in line with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Current understandings of these concepts, largely framed in Western understandings, are unquestioningly accepted, reframed for, yet not by, Indigenous peoples, and then are unchallenged when imposed on Indigenous peoples. One of the challenges of this extant body of work is that the central concept of resilience is rarely questioned. 8New South Wales Department of Health, North Sydney, NSW, AustraliaĬontemporary definitions and understandings of resilience refer to an individual's positive adaptation to the experience of adversity.7Telethon Kids Institute, University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia.6Western Australian, Department of Health, Perth, WA, Australia.5Faculty of Health, University of Technology Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia. ![]()
