Lucero had written an article on a study done to uncover how urban natives maintain a cultural identity outside of their sacred lands. Focusing primarily on the women, fourteen women from five different tribes offered a way for people to understand how they live. Cultural connectedness has three interacting elements: relatedness to other Native people; active cultural involvement; and cultural knowledge. Relocation has been the biggest threat to natives' connectedness to their identity. Cultural identity and cultural connectedness were found to be distinct constructs. Identity is a stable constituent of the self that thinks, feels, and acts Indian. Connectedness occurs through relationships and cultural involvement and knowledge. Adaptation to the non-Indian environment strengthens urban Indian women's identity. Lucero concludes the article by sharing that many of the women felt as though identity develops over time and is built by the individual's experiences and life lessons.
