Recognising that Indigenous languages were among the most vulnerable in the world today, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted a resolution proclaiming 2019 the International Year of Indigenous Languages. As the year came to an end, the United Nations proposed to continue the effort over 10 years. The International Decade of Indigenous Languages will begin in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00ab While promising for the Anishinabeg, this initiative is only a salve on an open wound, still confronting us with a harsh reality: we have neglected our language. Strong and resilient, language carries our culture at arm\u2019s length, even when we ourselves are at a loss for words. \u00bb<\/p>\n
