Language revitalization is not a zero-sum game.
A language "gain" is not another language's "loss".
Multilingualism was “normal” before colonial conquest & 1–language, 1–nation-state ideologies.
Imperialism, colonialism & capitalism cause language inequities, not multilingualism.

At the request of elders we will now refer to the unidentified Indigenous woman murdered by the serial killer in Winnipeg as ‘Buffalo Woman’ instead of unidentified woman. Until her name is found, we honour her.

If you're teaching in year 6 this year, this fraction 'cheat sheet' might be helpful. Where possible, I've tried to include representations to reinforce there concept, but it's more aimed at revision once the skills have been taught.

Orange Shirt Day should not be a called or turned into a “celebration”. It is our Remembrance Day. We honour and observe. This day represents many lost children and widespread intergenerational trauma. Its a time to learn and reflect. #EveryChildMatters – at Woodstock, Ontario
