Here are five easy ways to support Indigenous people in your community working to revive their languages.

These ideas and this video are based on a guide created by Onowa McIvor—Indigenous education researcher at the University of Victoria—with the Canadian Commission on UNESCO. It’s based on research by McIvor as part of the national language revitalization project called NEȾOLṈEW̱, translated as “one mind, one people” or “doing things as one” in the SENĆOŦEN language. NEȾOLṈEW̱ is a collaborative research partnership comprised of nine Indigenous-led communities and organizations and the department of Indigenous Education at UVic. Funded by SSHRC, its goal is to understand and enhance Indigenous adults’ contributions to reviving Indigenous languages in Canada.

It won't truly work without regions making languages like these the official language of education and administration.
