This research explores and supports the importance of Indigenous cultural knowledge and practices as guiding factors in understanding the agency and actions of Indigenous youth in seeking justice while journeying across the land. The article examines the work of Indigenous scholars and the significance of Indigenous knowledge in connecting to the land and natural environment, thus contributing to 'being alive well'. An example from Indigenous youth-focused research is highlighted to hear from the youth about the importance of being on ancestral land, journeying with peers and more importantly (re)gaining a sense of well-being and health through culture-based activism.
本研究探讨并支持了原住民文化知识和实践的重要性,这些知识和实践是理解原住民青年在穿越土地寻求正义时的能动性和行动的指导因素。本文探讨了原住民学者的工作以及原住民知识在与土地和自然环境联系方面的重要性,从而有助于“健康地活着”。本文强调了一个以原住民青年为重点的研究案例,以便从青年那里了解到在祖传土地上、与同龄人一起旅行以及更重要的是(重新)通过基于文化的行动主义获得幸福感和健康感的重要性。
