Reply to comment by _PM_ME_YOUR_FORESKIN in TIL Every two weeks, an Indigenous language dies. by ImAllAboutYou
You know, I think its hilarious that the article talks about how the current generation of indigenous are being taught English as primary language instead of their ancestral language... as if thats a bad thing. Imagine if the indigenous kids only learnt their local language as primary? Then the article would be condemning Caanada for isolating these indigenous kids because they can't speak the national language and get work off the reserve. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
