Resilient Indigenous Youth highlights how young Indigenous people are navigating today's world while preserving their heritage.
The book explores cultural revitalization, self-determination, and environmental stewardship, showcasing how these youths are active agents of change.
It challenges common narratives by demonstrating the dynamism of Indigenous communities, rather than portraying them as relics of the past.
For example, the book explores how digital technology is used to revitalize Indigenous languages.
The book argues that Indigenous youth are blending tradition with innovation to build a future that respects their heritage while tackling contemporary challenges.
It delves into the assertion of Indigenous rights through legal activism and examines the implementation of sustainable resource management practices rooted in traditional ecological knowledge.
Beginning with key concepts like resilience and intergenerational knowledge, the book progresses through case studies and examples of youth-led initiatives, concluding with implications for policy and community development.
