TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2002 Overcoming years of physical, alcohol and sexual abuse took understanding "multi-generational trauma" that affects Native people. Shea Goodluck-Barnes said. Goodluck-Barnes, a 50-year-old Navajo woman, said Western doctors were unable to help her. It took fellow Native Americans to help her break free of the abuse, she said at a recent domestic violence workshop in Farmington, New Mexico. Goodluck-Barnes said she was sexually abused by her grandfather and was born to an alcoholic mother. She entered into abusive relationships but has been sober for 16 years. Get the Story:
