A key to the success of it I think is that non-Maori are learning the language, meaning there are more people to speak Maori with, more people to practice the language with. I would love to see this happening across Canada, with the many languages that have been spoken here for thousands of years.

and to show Indigenous people they want to act in good relations with us. I often think about the language revitalization efforts in Aotearoa (New Zealand), and how there's been an increase of te reo Maori speakers as a result of language classes offered in schools for Maori and non-Maori students.

I think every elementary school and high school in Canada should offer language classes of the local nations whose territories the schools are on. We need non-Indigenous people learning our languages as well. We need a collective effort by Canadians to learn our languages, to help revitalize them,

needs to include an investment in language revitalization. Our languages aren't dying. I don't like to refer to them as dying languages because it removes the fault of the Canadian government and the policies that rid of us our languages and cultures. Our languages were systematically targeted.

Right?! You expect me to believe her and her sister looked in the mirror everyday and saw their moms face every day and never questioned they are carbon copies of her and believed they were birthed by an Inuk woman?!? It just doesn’t add up.
