Abstract

The article focuses on research from Stanford University regarding the role of heritage language learning in Indigenous communities and its impact on educational and psychological resilience. It highlights how Indigenous scholars are challenging traditional deficit approaches to learning and advocating for the importance of heritage languages in fostering self-determination and well-being. The research emphasizes the need for higher education institutions to prioritize the recruitment and retention of Indigenous individuals in linguistics programs to enhance connections between universities and Indigenous communities. The findings suggest that heritage language use can significantly contribute to learning outcomes and cultural revitalization. [Extracted from the article]
