Abstract

First Nations culture health determinants music wellbeing UniSC Diversity Area - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Engagement
This article reports on findings that indicate how First Nations musical activities function as cultural determinants of health. Drawing on early findings from a 3 year Australian Research Council funded project titled The Remedy Project: First Nations Music as a Determinant of Health, we detail Australian and Ni Vanuatu First Nations musicians' reported outcomes of musical activity using a First Nations cultural determinants of health framework. The broader findings indicate that our respondents see musical activity as actively shaping all known domains of cultural health determinants, and some surrounding political and social determinants. However, this paper focusses specifically on the political and economic determinants that emerged in analysis as the most dominant subthemes. We argue that this study provides strong impetus for continued investigation and reconceptualization of the place of music in cultural health determinant models.
