Description
Summary:The primary objective of this report is to compare federal, provincial and territorial legislation, regulations and policies concerning the revitalization of Indigenous (primarily First Nations) languages in Canada. The specific aims are to: 1) have the information “all in one place”, 2) draw comparisons amongst and between legislation, regulations and policies relating to Indigenous languages in Canada. The report focuses specifically on national, provincial and territorial legislation, regulations and policies and will serve as a backgrounder for advocacy towards: 1) the full implementation of the Indigenous Languages Act, and 2) provincial and territorial legislation, policies and regulations that affect or enhance the revitalization of Indigenous languages in those jurisdictions. In addition, legislation, regulations and policies held in certain foreign jurisdictions that affect or enhance the revitalization of Indigenous languages in those jurisdictions have been included to enrich the knowledge available for guiding policy and implementation practices in Canada.
