Lindsay Morcom at the TEDxQueensU spoke of how Indigenous languages in Canada are either endangered or vulnerable. Losing languages wasn’t by accident, she discussed how laws and policies were implemented, especially the residential school system, and the impact of cultural genocide. Her presentation included cultural and place-based examples to emphasize the importance of Indigenous languages. Dr. Morcom also described ways we can support the revitalization of languages. Examples include the Mi’kmaq culture and language-based education implemented by self-government as well as the Kingston Indigenous Languages Nest program. What can we do? Need for policies with funding to ensure Indigenous languages are incorporated meaningfully in both on-reserve and off-reserve educational settings. In addition, the need for support, not just financial but physical spaces to learn and dialogue into why Indigenous languages are important. Preserving languages is a vital step for reconciliation.
