This was great! I love the comparison to the land. I love learning about Canada's original languages and nations, and looking forward to helping keeping them alive. Thank you for your video. Chen kw'enmántumi (I hope that was correct!!)

The language sounds like a duck quacking.

That could've been way better. Firstly, you shouldn't be calling Squamish language a dialect, or saying stuff like "there are 14 dialects of Coast Salish": not only it's factually inaccurate, but also adds to the common misconception that Native American languages aren't "real" languages but "merely dialects" and stuff like that. Squamish is a language, not a dialect.
Secondly, your comparison of Squamish "inflections" to the land is weird. I have no idea what you mean. The morphological inflections? What could they possibly have to do with the "rhythm of the land"? You could've mentioned some actual features of the language and explain how they're tied to the worldview and the way of life of the Salish people, instead of doing this mystification and vagueness.

Indian language looks like Chec and Russian. No wonder it's dying out.
