As the network representing Indigenous Peoples, we’re joining in the effort to help protect Indigenous languages – and the stories that go with them – through our Speak With Pride initiative. Why? Because we believe that when we lose a language, we lose more than just words. We lose meaning. We lose culture. We lose the ability to learn from history – and more importantly, the ability to change it. And with 70+ Indigenous languages in danger of disappearing within the next generation, now’s the time to speak up.
