Abstract

This thesis studies Alaska Native Vietnam veterans using archival data and grounded theory methods of qualitative analysis. It discusses the impact of cultural and individual beliefs, expectations and experiences on Alaska Native veterans during and since the Vietnam War. Theories developed from and grounded in the narratives of the 11 participants posit that reconciliation with community is a critical factor in healing from the traumas of war.
