Damaged and needing help : violence and abuse in Aboriginal families In Yellowknife and Lutsel K'e / research team, Cynthia Chambers ... [et al.]. : Z1-1991/1-41-28E-PDF

“The purpose of this study was to examine how Aboriginal people in a small community, Lutsel K'e, and an urban centre, Yellowknife, define family violence, deal with the problem, and can be helped to stop the violence and abuse. Family violence is the physical, sexual, mental or emotional abuse of one person by another person who is a member of the family or with whom the abused person has an intimate relationship. Most Aboriginal people interviewed are in agreement about actions which are violent and abusive. But many people feel that the frequency of the action, its intent or purpose, and the tone of voice, facial expression and body language accompanying the action, affect whether it is violent or abusive”--Executive summary, p. i.
