  • Célébrer la Journée internationale de la langue maternelle d’un point de vue autochtone
    Jan 24 2023

    Je crois fermement qu’un projet de loi dans lequel on reconnaît publiquement toutes les langues maternelles et on s’engage à les protéger peut être une stratégie pour aborder et corriger des décennies de gestes honteux commis à l’endroit des Premières Nations, des Métis, des Inuits et des Autochtones non inscrits. Les répercussions négatives de ces gestes se manifestent clairement dans la perte de la culture et de la langue maternelle. À l’heure actuelle, aucune loi ne protège ni ne promeut explicitement les langues maternelles, hormis nos langues officielles, l’anglais et le français. Sans une loi qui reconnaît et célèbre officiellement les langues maternelles de toutes les cultures et origines, on ne peut pas véritablement protéger les langues traditionnelles.

  • Celebrating International Mother Language Day from an Indigenous Perspective
    Jan 24 2023

    I strongly believe that a bill openly acknowledging and committing to protect all mother languages is one strategy to addressing and rectifying decades of shameful acts committed against First Nations, Inuit, Métis and non-status Indigenous peoples, the detrimental impacts of which are so clearly manifest in a loss of cultural connection and native language. The fact is, currently, there is no legislation which explicitly protects or promotes any native languages, apart from our official ones, English and French. Without any bill explicitly recognizing and celebrating the mother languages of all cultures and heritage, there is no real protection of any traditional language.
