Yup, loved it. As someone who can't speak their ancestral language, the last part made me weep.

I just love bearing witness to indigenous languages surviving. More and more efforts to keep Cree alive are growing, with classes and tools helping new generations learn. 🔥💪🏿

Last week I tabled a petition calling for urgent action to protect Indigenous languages. Petitioners urge fair, long-term funding so revitalization can continue before it’s too late.

Mary Simon’s French was never only about French.

It exposed the hierarchy Canada keeps avoiding: English and French as authority, Indigenous languages as “treasures” kept safely behind glass.

Context matters. Period. Always. buff.ly/IUtdM9X #IndigenousLanguages #LanguagePolicy #MarySimon

Here is an op-ed published in Times Higher Education that Dr. Candace Galla and I co-authored as a call for solidarity with Indigenous language community scholar-educators.

America’s universites must embrace – not efface – indigenous knowledge
Even in a political climate hostile to diversity, Indigenous people will keep asserting their right to use their languages, say Candace Galla and Madoka Hammine
