Four Indigenous language books with text reading National Indigenous Languages Day

Indigenous Heritage

May We Suggest: Indigenous language learning

March 31 is National Indigenous Languages Day, an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the rich and diverse heritage of Indigenous languages, and the strength and resilience of Indigenous culture. 2022-2032 is also the United Nations International Decade of Indigenous Languages, which aims to draw global attention to the critical situation of many Indigenous languages and to mobilize the preservation, revitalization, and promotion of these languages.

Visit Kingston Indigenous Languages Nest (KILN) to learn more about one local initiative to revitalize Indigenous language learning. KFPL is committed to the process of reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, including housing KILN's collection of Indigenous language learning materials in our Calvin Park and Rideau Heights Branches. Learn more about our Indigenous language resources here, and enjoy these books highlighting some of the many Indigenous languages spoken today.
