An Indigenous language renaissance is happening in Canada, according to those pushing to preserve and revive the original lexicons of First Nations. endangeredThere are currently 34 Indigenous languages in B.C. The First Peoples' Cultural Council thinks it would help to have all of them recognized as official languages. Rather, she says, the recognition would promote funding and policy supports for Indigenous languages. It is the largest commitment to Indigenous languages a provincial or federal government has ever made in Canada.
