Abstract

A scoping review conducted by researchers at the University of Saskatchewan examined the linguistic representation of Indigenous Peoples in published literature from 2000 to 2024. The study found that the portrayal of Indigenous Peoples in language was predominantly negative and deficit-based, perpetuating stereotypes. The researchers emphasized the need for greater attention to linguistic representations of Indigenous Peoples in healthcare and education, suggesting that future research should also explore language in historical documents and academia. This research was supported by the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada and the University of British Columbia. [Extracted from the article]
