| dc.description.abstract | This annotated bibliography aims to contribute to a better understanding of and document current trends as well as gaps in the published literature on Indigenous language use and learning and their connection to health and well-being. A three-stage approach was used to identify a pool of existing literature: First, three previous literature reviews related to the topic were consulted to establish a starting point for our follow-up work. McIvor, Napoleon, and Dickie (2009) published the seminal piece in the field, and so only publications from 2009 onwards were included in our review to narrow results and ensure research was current. Secondly, the search tool Summon, which aggregates scholarly material found in various databases, journals, theses and dissertations online, and Google Scholar were used to identify research that cited articles from the three seminal literature reviews. Through this, we captured articles that cover similar topics but are more current than the originally cited article. For the final part of the review, an open search in Summon was completed, using various combinations of key words including: language, language revitalization, language learning, Indigenous, Aboriginal, Native American, well-being, wellness, health, healing, and balance. A total of 39 articles were located. We further reduced this number for our analysis by 1) only retaining articles that explicitly discussed language and its connection to health and wellbeing, and 2) by further omitting articles that explored the relationship between culture and well-being more broadly with only brief mentions of language’s relationship as a cultural component. The final 16 articles included in this annotation therefore either discuss a direct connection between language, health and wellbeing or use language as a measure for cultural continuity and its connection to health and wellbeing. | |
