The UN International Decade of Indigenous Languages aims to secure the rights of Indigenous Peoples to preserve, revitalize and promote their languages, while mainstreaming linguistic diversity and multilingualism into the UN’s broader sustainable development efforts. It offers a unique opportunity to collaborate and stimulate a global dialogue, and to take necessary steps for the continued usage, preservation, revitalization and promotion of Indigenous languages around the world. The Canadian launch of the decade took place on Earth Day 2022 and was co-hosted by the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, Canada Council for the Arts and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
