The Aboriginal languages of First Nations people, Métis and Inuit : census of population, 2016.: CS98-200/2016-22E-PDF

"Language shapes the way that people think about and interact with the world. For many people, their ancestral language is integral to cultural expression and continuity. Aboriginal languages in Canada have been evolving in this land over generations and reflect rich and diverse histories, landscapes, cultures and knowledge. Many Aboriginal languages are unique to Canada, spoken nowhere else in the world. For these and countless other reasons, many Aboriginal people greatly value the preservation and revitalization of their languages. These languages are a significant part of the rich linguistic mosaic of Canada"--Introduction, p. 1.
