I think a lot of the traditional cultures (those that were largely genocided by colonization) had trauma healing practices built into their cultures. Like dancing rituals or collective singing and performance pieces.
There was an interview on Democracy Now a few years ago where an indigenous woman, Malaya Peixinho living in "New Mexico" had survived a white supremacist shooting of a community member in front of her only a few days prior to the interview, and her community had given her a lot of support and love in that time and she seemed pretty in control of herself describing what had happened.
