Distributive Justice for Native American Indigenous Peoples within Counseling

The purpose of this manuscript is to challenge injustices toward Native American Indigenous (nai) peoples within counseling professions. Distributive justice requires the systematic representation of nai contexts, epistemologies, and recognition of Tribal Nation self-determination within counselor education and practice. The tenets of multicultural education frame an argument for distributive justice with the goals to (a) educate counselors on foundational knowledge necessary to work with nai clients, (b) instill a greater empathy and ethic of care for nai communities, and (c) motivate counselors to engage in systemic actions which support nai futurity.
