ReconciliAction

An intrinsic part of culture, language is essential to the processes of reconciliation and anti-colonial organizing, as well as the ability for Indigenous communities to thrive. In accordance with recommendation number 16 of the Truth and Reconciliation commission, the Federation under the leadership of student activists will “call upon post-secondary institutions to create university and college degree and diploma programs in [Indigenous] languages.” English and French operate as the official languages of the country, receiving substantial public funding, thus reconciliation cannot exist while still enforcing colonial languages upon Indigenous populations. The Federation runs this campaign to call for funding and resources for Indigenous language programs and increased funding for Indigenous supports on college and university campuses.
