GENERATIONS RISING: RECOVERING LANGUAGE AND CULTURE

Forced assimilation and the violence of settler colonialism were cataclysmic to the use and preservation of Indigenous languages. Concerted efforts were directly aimed at severing the sacred thread of interconnectedness between spoken word and culture. Nevertheless, Indigenous languages have persevered, but not without significant challenges.

This presentation explores the continuance, recovery, and celebration of ancestral languages and the creative ways Indigenous people are keeping these cultural traditions alive.
