在这项研究中，我们响应呼吁，强调美国印第安人和第一民族（Anishinaabe）的健康观点的优势为基础的土著研究。我们与Anishinaabe社区成员通过使用迭代，协作组概念映射方法，从文化内透镜定义优势。参与者（n = 13）分享了什么是生活的一个良好的生活方式/有健康的Anishinaabe年轻人，排名/排序他们的想法，并分享他们的理解的地图。结果由九组健康代表，涉及自我照顾、自决、实现、社区联系、传统知识、对家庭的责任、对他人的同情尊重、文化适应以及与地球/祖先的联系等方面。这些集群是相互关联的，主要是在自我照顾和关注他人之间的关系。作者和Anishinaabe社区成员通过使用七个祖父教导来解释结果，这为理解Anishinaabe的健康提供了一个框架。祖父七教包括诚实（Gwayakwaadiziwin），尊重（Manaadendamowin），谦卑（Dabaadendiziwin），爱（Zaagi'idiwin），智慧（Nibwaakaawin），勇敢/勇气（Aakode'ewin）和真理（Debwewin）。
In this study, we respond to calls for strengths-based Indigenous research by highlighting American Indian and First Nations (Anishinaabe) perspectives on wellness. We engaged with Anishinaabe community members by using an iterative, collaborative Group Concept Mapping methodology to define strengths from a within-culture lens. Participants (n = 13) shared what it means to live a good way of life/have wellness for Anishinaabe young adults, ranked/sorted their ideas, and shared their understanding of the map. Results were represented by nine clusters of wellness, which addressed aspects of self-care, self-determination, actualization, community connectedness, traditional knowledge, responsibility to family, compassionate respect toward others, enculturation, and connectedness with earth/ancestors. The clusters were interrelated, primarily in the relationship between self-care and focus on others. The results are interpreted by the authors and Anishinaabe community members though the use of the Seven Grandfather Teachings, which provide a framework for understanding Anishinaabe wellness. The Seven Grandfather Teachings include Honesty (Gwayakwaadiziwin), Respect (Manaadendamowin), Humility (Dabaadendiziwin), Love (Zaagi'idiwin), Wisdom (Nibwaakaawin), Bravery/Courage (Aakode'ewin), and Truth (Debwewin).
