(55/100) Revitalizing Indigenous Languages

Many indigenous cultures around the world are trying to keep their languages alive. Language is very important because it carries history and culture. In some countries, children are learning their indigenous languages in schools. For example, in Canada, some schools now teach Cree and Inuktitut. These languages were once not spoken in schools, but now they are part of the education system. Some communities also use social media to share their language. They post videos and messages in their native languages. These activities are helping young people feel proud of their culture. In New Zealand, Maori language classes are very popular. More people are speaking Maori today than in the past. People believe that if they speak their language, they can keep their culture alive for future generations.
