Who is intended audience for this abstract Abstract Mental health issues in Indigenous communities have been increasingly documented by media, research, and government reports. High rates of suicide, depression, and substance abuse are prevalent among Indigenous people, especially youth. Research has reported that many Indigenous communities have adopted and are keen to adopt digital technologies, which have shown potential to provide e-mental health (eMH) resources for Indigenous people. By conducting a systematic literature review, this article examines the impact of Indigenous people’s interactions with digital media on their mental health and wellbeing. The twenty-seven empirical studies included in this review were conducted with Indigenous participants primarily across four countries. We analyzed the studies’ research objectives and respective instruments to measure the impact of an array of digital technologies adopted by Indigenous people for their mental health needs or used in Indigenous-specific eMH programs. This paper reports on themes found in the peer-reviewed literature, including Indigenous people and other stakeholders’ perspectives on eMH and the viability of its implementation. The findings suggest that digital technologies can be effective in aiding the provision and improvement of Indigenous mental health services, particularly when applying decolonizing, culturally appropriate approaches. This review provides insights for researchers, health professionals, and educators to develop and implement innovative eMH resources for Indigenous communities.
