The abridged version of a 2017 report from a national dialogue on Indigenous languages held in June of 2016 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The session was hosted by the First Peoples’ Cultural Council who invited twenty Indigenous language experts from across Canada along with representatives from the Department of Canadian Heritage to discuss approaches to Indigenous language revitalization in Canada. The dialogue was built around four themes: (1) language rights, legislation and policy, (2) community-based revitalization, (3) education, and (4) urban strategies. A report was produced which may be used as a starting point for further consultations on the development of a new federal approach to addressing the need for recognition, protection and revitalization of Indigenous languages such as legislation and an Indigenous languages commission."
