美国和加拿大对土著儿童发展的研究落后于其他人口。因此，只有有限的研究文献为解决土著儿童及其家庭面临的挑战提供信息，包括药物滥用、自杀、精神障碍和学业成绩等心理健康问题的差异。本文简要介绍了土著社区儿童发展的历史背景，并介绍了2008年成立的土著儿童研究交流（NCRE），以促进与部落社区的儿童发展研究。以下由NCRE学者撰写的文章集回顾了现有的研究，强调了这项工作中遇到的挑战，并指出了在土著文化中进一步发展研究的议程。
The study of Native childrens development in the United States and Canada has lagged behind that of other populations. As a result, there is limited research literature to inform efforts to address the challenges faced by Native children and their families, including disparities in mental health problems such as substance abuse, suicide, mental disorders, and academic achievement. This article provides a brief overview of the historical context of childrens development in Native communities and introduces the Native Childrens Research Exchange (NCRE), formed in 2008 to facilitate child development research with tribal communities. The following collection of articles, written by NCRE scholars, reviews existing research, highlights challenges encountered in this work, and points to an agenda for furthering developmental research within Native cultures.
