National Indigenous Languages Day

National Indigenous Languages Day is observed across Canada each year on March 31 to recognize and celebrate the rich linguistic heritage of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. This day highlights the importance of preserving, revitalizing, and promoting the more than 70 Indigenous languages spoken in Canada. Each language carries deep cultural knowledge, identity, and a strong connection to the land. It is also a time to honor the language keepers, teachers, and community members who are working to ensure these languages continue to thrive for future generations.
