Multicultural Training Intervention to Address American Indian Stereotypes
Steinfeldt, Jesse A.; Steinfeldt, Matthew Clint
Counselor Education and Supervision, v51 n1 p17-32 Mar 2012
This article describes a multicultural training intervention that addresses American Indian stereotypes perpetuated through the use of American Indians and corresponding imagery as mascots by schools and athletic teams. With the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development's tripartite model of multicultural competence (awareness, knowledge, skills) as a framework, this intervention's description is organized into three components: perspective-taking to facilitate awareness of attitudes about Native-themed mascots, specific knowledge about race-based mascots, and social justice skills that can empower counselors to become advocates for change. This training intervention can help counseling programs provide enhanced multicultural competency training on issues salient to American Indian communities. (Contains 2 figures.)
