Research on the importance of cultural continuity for Central Australian Aboriginal men's mental health has been translated into Eastern/Central Arrernte, making it one of the first academic papers to be translated in full into an Australian Aboriginal Language. Eastern/Central Arrernte is one of the most commonly spoken Aboriginal languages in Australia, in an area of Central Australia that includes Alice Springs and East MacDonnell Ranges. The paper discusses kinship, language, religious and economic activities that can help restore traditional knowledge, which can in turn help Aboriginal men develop positive identity and mental health.
