Abstract

Abstract This paper demonstrates that historical trauma, healing, and wellbeing require attention in Indigenous language cultivation and revitalization. While historical trauma affects Indigenous peoples across the spectrum of language knowledge and use, little is written about the ways it can be addressed in the teaching, learning, and development—the cultivation—of Indigenous languages. For Indigenous language educators, how we address historical trauma in our language cultivation may be one of the most critical factors affecting our potential to cultivate the wellness we seek, and new generations of speakers of our languages. Drawing on a Diné (Navajo) lens and voices from other Indigenous communities, this article focuses on historical trauma, healing, and wellbeing as important considerations in Indigenous language cultivation and revitalization, to which applied linguists, Indigenous peoples, and others interested in Indigenous language revitalization and Indigenous wellbeing should pay attention. It argues that many of the most appropriate approaches can and will come from within our own Indigenous ways of knowing and healing, and that sharing more work of this kind can strengthen cultivation and revitalization efforts. It provides recommendations for applied linguistics and allied fields, educational, governmental and other resource holders, and Indigenous communities, programs, language cultivators and revitalizers.
在土著语言培养和振兴中解决历史创伤和治愈问题
摘要本文论述了原住民语言的培育与振兴需要关注的历史创伤、治愈与福祉。虽然历史创伤对土著人民的语言知识和使用产生了广泛的影响,但关于如何在土著语言的教学、学习和发展(即培养)中解决这一问题的文章却很少。对于土著语言教育者来说,我们如何处理语言培养中的历史创伤,可能是影响我们培养我们所寻求的健康和新一代说我们语言的人的潜力的最关键因素之一。本文以纳瓦霍族的视角,以及其他原住民社群的声音,聚焦原住民语言培育与振兴的重要考量,包括历史创伤、康复与福祉,应用语言学家、原住民族,以及其他对原住民语言振兴与福祉感兴趣的人士,应予以关注。它认为,许多最合适的方法可以而且将会来自我们自己的土著认识和治疗方式,分享更多这类工作可以加强培育和振兴努力。它为应用语言学和相关领域、教育、政府和其他资源持有者、土著社区、项目、语言培养者和振兴者提供建议。

期刊介绍: The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics publishes research on key topics in the broad field of applied linguistics. Each issue is thematic, providing a variety of perspectives on the topic through research summaries, critical overviews, position papers and empirical studies. Being responsive to the field, some issues are tied to the theme of that year''s annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Also, at regular intervals an issue will take the approach of covering applied linguistics as a field more broadly, including coverage of critical or controversial topics. ARAL provides cutting-edge and timely articles on a wide number of areas, including language learning and pedagogy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language assessment, and research design and methodology, to name just a few.
