this has happened more poignantly within the native american and african american communities in terms of the same phenomena. well, i think trauma happens in every community. we want to make that clear. now, with regard to the native american community, you've got the common issue of historic trauma, the similar phenomenon in the african american community. and that gives us intergenerational phenomena where you've got abuse, you've got sexual abuse, etc., but the american indian and alaska native communities point to historical trauma as something that needs to be addressed. and, without addressing it, then you wind up essentially blaming the whole community for some of the consequences but, in fact, the community wants to deal with violence against women, incest, these transgenerational traumatic experiences that almost guarantee the next generation is going to have similar experiences. and it goes from one to the other to the other. i want to get back, also getting back to, you've got children, miss cain. are they in a way, have they received treatment with you in terms of working o
