Native (North American) Indians

The North American Indian ( I am one) has been subjected to continuing external pressures from the dominent societies... which of itself is probably not unusual because other minorities also suffer the same... however, those pressures have been specifically directed at the chidren of the NAI (North Am etc.). Or NAI children feel the most effects of the dominant society's incursions into the NAI way of life. The obvious one is the Residential school programs where children were removed from parents for the school year. Spiritual practices, child rearing, traditional economies have all been virtually destroyed but nothing or very little has been done to replace them. The NAI community has become a little more than a cluster of houses. Work is non-existent there except for some small scale government funded activity. The above paragraph would seem to be grist for the Adlerian mill. Problematic parent, no "community", family breakdowns, no work. My question is... is there any work, practice, or study being done by any Adlerian school, or group that address the specific problems of the North American Indian?
