Indigenous children and young people (hereafter youth) across CANZUS nations embody a rich diversity of cultures and traditions. Despite the immense challenges facing these youth, many harness cultural and personal strengths to protect and promote their wellbeing. To support this for all youth, it is critical to understand what contributes to their wellbeing. This review aims to identify components contributing to wellbeing for Indigenous youth in CANZUS nations. Five databases were searched from inception to August 2022. Papers were eligible if they: focused on Indigenous youth in CANZUS nations; included views of youth or proxies; and focused on at least one aspect of wellbeing. We identified 105 articles for inclusion (Canada = 42, Australia = 27, Aotearoa New Zealand = 8, USA = 28) and our analysis revealed a range of thematic areas within each nation that impact wellbeing for Indigenous youth. Findings highlight the unique challenges facing Indigenous youth, as well as their immense capacity to harness cultural and personal strengths to navigate into an uncertain future. The commonalities of Indigenous youth wellbeing across these nations provide valuable insights into how information and approaches can be shared across borders to the benefit of all Indigenous youth and future generations.
加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰和美国的原住民青年体现了丰富多样的文化和传统。尽管这些青年面临着巨大的挑战，但许多人利用文化和个人优势来保护和促进自身福祉。为了支持所有青年，了解哪些因素有助于他们的福祉至关重要。本综述旨在确定有助于加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰和美国原住民青年福祉的因素。从建库开始至 2022 年 8 月，我们在五个数据库中进行了检索。如果论文符合以下标准，则被纳入：重点关注加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰和美国的原住民青年；包含青年或其代表的观点；并关注福祉的至少一个方面。我们共纳入了 105 篇文章（加拿大 42 篇、澳大利亚 27 篇、新西兰 8 篇、美国 28 篇），我们的分析揭示了每个国家内影响原住民青年福祉的一系列主题领域。研究结果突显了原住民青年面临的独特挑战，以及他们利用文化和个人优势驾驭不确定未来的巨大能力。这些国家的原住民青年福祉的共同性为如何在跨境共享信息和方法以造福所有原住民青年和后代提供了宝贵的见解。
