“In Canada today, there are more than 58 indigenous languages.  Of these, the predictions are that only three – Cree, Anishinabemowin (Ojibwe) and Inuktitut – will survive. And even if they do, they may not remain vibrant in their communities.  We cannot allow our people to experience such a loss to our traditions and cultures.” (Galley, 2016).
