Alcoholism and Native American Youth: An Overview

Abstract

This article examines alcohol and native American youth in an historical perspective, and in a present day context. The paper is divided as follows: “Introduction,” “The Period Before 1832,” “Indian Prohibition 1832–1953,” “1953-Present,” and “What Next?” It is a complex problem, involving cultural, environmental, economic, and many other elements all best understood in historical context. A native American “community” is difficult to maintain alongside the “corporatization” of tribes and the infusion of government monies and programs. Dynamic local community involvement is called for here, as well as a “small is beautiful” theme for both economic and social policies pertaining to native Americans. This addresses the problem at the local or community level, encouraging mediating structures for a total effort on local community ground.
