I think it’s so important to have more recordings like this. Just long clips of people speaking fully in their native language. I see many language revitalization videos that only show the language spoken in a single word or phrase at a time, but it’s so much deeper to hear the language spoken naturally in a conversation instead of isolated into individual terms. Thank you for creating this!

This is a beautiful conversation. I really resonated with the oral speakers vs readers and the idea that to become fluent in your native language is to see and embrace the world through it. The principles and ethics and philosophy come through in the language. I find that is true for my own native language and sometimes i have to get it of my Western educated brain to really understand myself in the spirit of it. Thank you for sharing this!

So many people in so-called "quebec" are often up in arms saying that everyone must speak only french here, that french "was the original language" of quebec, and that this is non-negotiable. Obviously this is a farce - if they really cared about speaking the original language of this land, they'd be preserving the Mohawk language. The truth is, what they want is the same as what the settlers and residential schools wanted - total assimilation, or death. Mohawk is a beautiful language from a beautiful people, and it is the only true language of this land. It's going to take a lot of support and work to fight back against the continuing colonization of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island.

That isn't fully true. while Quebec does have many of it's own indigenous languages, Mohawk is not one of them. The Mohawk that live in Quebec today actually came from up state New York mainly during the 1670 to live and trade with the french who had recently settled the area. That means that Quebec had a French-speaking population before a Mohawk one. That doesn't mean that I don't think that the language is as worthy of preservation, it just isn't "the original language of this land" . Also, saying that "it is the only true language of this land" forgets about the multitude of other indigenous languages in Quebec that have been spoken for there for thousands upon thousands of years.

Good point. The notion of "natural language of this land" is a bit hard to accept. Yet the Mohawk language and other native languages deserve to survive.

I agree when the language gets lost from it's nature it takes a long time to bring it back to it's natural glow in tongue and spirit.Spirit first the tongue.

This is challenging to express in an environment like this but it reflects upon language expression structure and its source code "influences" like was spoken upon.... group of European children said to be "developmentally disabled" with issues within the Autism spectrum.. labeled non conformist ,, struggle for years with the language systems expression roots . introduced to the Algonquian language family , no longer feels alien in expression structure ,, speaks upon ones original language expression "feeling" wrong .. a lot more then simple words on a page has to do with the essence of a languages expressive "recognition expression structure" and its internal limits..
