Securing the Future of Our Languages: Investing in New Indigenous
Language Speakers
Cultural Survival Quarterly 45-4 (December 2021)
[link removed]
Join us in celebrating 45 years of promoting and amplifying Indigenous voices through our publications!
On January 1, 2022, the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022–2032) will commence. It is an opportunity to shed light on the critical state of Indigenous languages and to bring resources to Indigenous communities’ efforts to revitalize and reclaim Indigenous languages to ensure the healing, well being, and prosperity of Indigenous communities. This issue of the Cultural Survival Quarterly is dedicated to uplifting the voices and work of Indigenous educators, practitioners, linguists, activists, journalists, and communicators, who, against all odds, with limited to no resources, are strengthening their mother tongues and creating new language speakers through various media platforms and tools.
