Consequently, a high priority has been placed on the preservation of languages through ongoing research and language teaching. Here in Canada, despite the government’s financial and administrative aid for language awakening, reversing language loss has not yet been achieved. This chapter focuses on how applied theatre can support the cross-generational transfer of Indigenous languages and cultures as a community-based, participatory, and immersive tool to bring forward stories from page to stage and encourage discussion on critical social issues while speaking to the core elements of traditional culture such as storytelling, performance, and sharing knowledge. Moreover, this chapter discusses the urgency of utilising bottom-up and collaborative models of applied theatre via Indigenous and decolonising methodologies that work through reporting back to and sharing knowledge with (and for) Indigenous communities. The ethics of this anti-hierarchical and caring approach is equally significant in relation to the ethical foundations of Indigenous ontologies that contribute to the Indigenous people’s well-being and agency through respect, relevance, reciprocity, and responsibility.
