This goes into that idea of creating a language economy, and we need to work on that, because right now it's challenging. Single moms are being told that they have to learn their language alongside their children and speak it alongside just existing, and it's such an impossible ask for so many people. There's also that cultural guilt if you're not learning your language. We can't be driven by guilt; we have to be driven by celebration.
Yes, it was a tragedy that came up in this past year to see that indigenous languages weren't being treated like minority languages with respect to language bonuses in government. That's an easy first step for government to take.
Within any workplace, having that should be seen as something that needs to be funded. Even within education placements and so on, it needs to be seen as something that people are striving towards. We need to create this economy around our languages, much like what has been created for minority languages in this country.
