Family, community, and Aboriginal language among young First Nations children living off Reserve in Canada

Link

Organization/ Author: Evelyne Bougie

Description:
This study analyses data from the 2006 Aboriginal Children's Survey to identify some of the characteristics associated with the ability to understand an Aboriginal language among off-reserve First Nations children aged 2 to 5.

More specifically, it examines the extent to which the home, the extended family, child-care settings, and the broader community can contribute to the transmission of Aboriginal languages to young First Nations children living off Reserve.
