Importance of Indigenous Language Use

Terry Young- Kingsclear First Nation

Presented At: 
CanWeld Conference 2023

The important role that Indigenous languages have on creating a meaningful relationship with the natural world. Indigenous languages are at major risk right now all over Turtle Island (North America) and there is much work that is being done in Wabanaki territory, but Terry will focus on his work within his home community of Bilijk which is a Wolastoqiyik community just outside of Fredericton. This presentation will allow for participants to learn some basic terms in language that can be utilized in the workspaces and in everyday life.
