In this article, the authors discuss how the historic and contemporary discourses about Indigenous Peoples as deviant have led to the development of a series of colonial policies, practices and institutional structures to address this deviance, including elevated rates of mental health issues and addictions, and family violence, with direct impacts on healthy child development and overall Indigenous health.
