At APTN, we’re encouraging everyone to speak their language with pride
As the network representing Indigenous Peoples, we’re joining in the effort to help protect Indigenous languages—and the stories that go with them—through our Speak With Pride initiative. Why? Because we believe that when we lose a language, we lose more than just words. We lose meaning. We lose culture. We lose the ability to learn from history—and more importantly, the ability to change it. And with 70+ Indigenous languages in danger of disappearing within the next generation, now’s the time to speak up.
The map below showcases many of the language families represented in Canada, and the number of people who speak them.
