Indigenous languages across North America are under threat of extinction due to the colonial legacy of cultural erasure, says linguist Lindsay Morcom. Highlighting grassroots strategies developed by the Anishinaabe people of Canada to revive their language and community, Morcom makes a passionate case for enacting policies that could protect Indigenous heritage for generations to come.

Was super surprised to hear about Mi'kmaq being a well-reserved language. My dad's side of the family recently found out the specific tribe we're descended from is Mi'kmaq, and lately I've been reading up on it to learn about the culture, language, etc. My grandpa's brother has been involving himself in the culture for a few years now to get back what was taken from my great-grandpa.
Indigenous people lost a lot in past 200 years. I hope they get back their language, culture, family back and prosper in future. Fighting!❤️💕
My husband and his tribe (Wolostaqi'ik/Maliseet) are working hard to keep their language, stories, and legends alive. It's been very difficult.
Growing up learning and experiencing the culture, heritage, and language of Cree was amazing. I can only imagine how amazing the other cultures are! Hoop dancing, beadworking, etc. Are beautiful! The lessons you can learn from their heritage is immeasurable. She mentioned briefly that rocks are animate, I challenge you to understand why that is. This is an amazing video showcasing so much that is easily missed. Educate yourself on the cultures, because you'll grow more than you think.
Family history is very important and tbh i wish schools taught that more
"It hath alwayes bene the use of the conqueror to dispose
the language of the conquered, and to force him by all meanes to learne his. Soe that the speach being Irish, the hart must needes be Irishe; for out of the aboundance of the hart, the tonge speaketh." Edmund Spencer "A Veue of the present state of Irelande" [1596]
The captions are going earlier than the speech.
This is an amazing message! Indigenous history and language has to be taught, for too long have these beautiful cultures and people been hurt and silenced. This has to change! Lindsay Morcom message is truly wonderful, thank you for this Ted Talk.
Interesting, and insightful.

my first language is portuguese, we learn about indigenous people in schools... i learned english during my life... but i have never been so confused in my whole life
"teshaeppotakimeaha" one word meaning "life after death " three words
Does the same apply to navajo? I'm learning this on Duolingo and was curious if they have the same verb-centric language structure as with your native language?
Can someone explain the meaning of that 'cemetery next to the building' quote?
(English) Subtitle flows before speaker...Fortunately , I am able to little bit understand
The thing about rocks being animate reminds me of that theory that it could be sentient we just assume it isnt
I did not know about differences in color classification
The Closed Captions are off on this video. It was distracting.
