In this piece we (as one Indigenous anthropologist writing with a non-Indigenous anthropologist) explore research on how land is also connected to the revitalization of Indigenous minority languages and lifeways, suggesting that projects concerning either the sustainability of language and of land should not be considered separately. Under a framework of ‘sustainable relations,’ we explore how Indigenous ontologies of language conceptualize the indivisibility of language and land, and land and humans, which leads to a situation in which projects for the revitalization of language and for the reclamation of connections with land are often linked. The vital importance of the land-language connection for the continued sustainability of language, land and Indigenous lifeways is also showcased through an examination of recent studies looking at correlations between Indigenous language maintenance, engagement with the land and overall health and well-being of communities.

在这篇文章中，我们（作为一位土著人类学家与一位非土著人类学家合写的文章）探索了有关土地如何与振兴土著少数族裔语言和生活方式联系起来的研究，这表明与语言和土地可持续性相关的项目不应分开考虑。在“可持续关系”的框架下，我们探索语言的本地本体论如何将语言与土地，土地与人类的不可分割性概念化，从而导致了一种旨在振兴语言和开垦土地的项目。经常联系在一起。土地语言连接对于语言的持续可持续性至关重要，
