Mother Language Day and Aboriginal languages - Junction Neighbourhood Centre - JNC

On International Mother Language Day the JNC celebrates Aboriginal languages and outlines the importance of retaining mother languages

Indigenous languages are integral to who we are, and how we relate to other people.Did you know, for example, that there’s no “I” or “me” in the Aboriginal language? Those words don’t exist. This gives you an indication of the social structures of Aboriginal Peoples, and the primary importance of community.
