美国原住民往往经历着所有少数族裔中最严重的社会、行为和身体健康差异。这种批判性的民族志利用历史压迫、复原力和超越性的框架来审视土著人民对自给生活的看法和经验，研究自给生活如何通过促进体育锻炼、健康饮食和心理健康来促进福祉和复原力。对来自两个东南部部落的 436 名参与者的数据进行专题分析，揭示了三个首要主题：通过在土地上生活培养美好的回忆和家庭联系、实现体验式代际教学和学习、促进足智多谋和抵消经济边缘化。结果表明，生存是通过促进积极的营养和饮食、锻炼和主观幸福感，在土著社区内促进可持续和有机的健康和福祉方法的重要途径。
Indigenous peoples of the United States tend to experience the most severe social, behavioral, and physical health disparities of any ethnic minority. This critical ethnography uses the framework of historical oppression, resilience, and transcendence to examine indigenous peoples' perspectives on and experiences with subsistence living, investigating how subsistence living may contribute to well-being and resilience by promoting physical exercise, a healthy diet, and psychological health. Thematic analysis of data from 436 participants across two southeastern tribes reveals three overarching themes: fostering fond memories and family bonding through living off the land, enabling experiential intergenerational teaching and learning, and promoting resourcefulness and offsetting economic marginalization. Results indicate that subsistence is an important avenue to promote sustainable and organic approaches to health and well-being within indigenous communities by facilitating positive nutrition and diet, exercise, and subjective well-being.
