There are approximately 60 000 Mi’kmaqs in North America. Yet, less than 9000 speak or understand their own language. Why do you think Blackbird was chosen by Emma’s class? Answer by looking at the English lyrics, the theme of the song and our previous conversations on indigenization. - LANGUAGE Part of the Indian Act once banned Native Canadians to speak their own language. Considering this, discuss in teams the following questions: - The Wendat language was once believed to be extinct since the 19th century. Work has been done since the early 2000s to revitalize the language and teach it to the next generation of Wendats. To do so, they studied texts written by catholic priests who were trying to convert the Wendat. In what way is that Ironic? - How is language important in the creation of your identity? What would your reaction be if we forced you to never speak French again?
