That all sounds fine. What's your problem? Many universities already offer such content.

So Memorial University in Newfoundland needs to start a program when the Beothuk language is extinct? Nobody has spoken that language since 1829.

It's a bullshit requirement. When not all Canadian Universities have reputable Greek or Latin departments, it's one hell of an ask!

Yes, because "In Aboriginal languages" obviously means "In the aboriginal language geographically, if perhaps not temporally closest to the student".

I would argue that the conditions in the healing lodges are often better then that of the reserves where the inmates come from. Their plight really is a stain on the various levels of government in Canada.

So then who cares? Nothing has to change. A handful of universities with high Native enrolment teach native languages as special topics in linguistics. U Sask, Winnipeg, etc. There's not enough potential students or teachers to justify this nationally.

Despite years and years of spending, how many of those in the UK speak Gaelic or Cymru? Scottish and Welsh culture has changed, and that's okay. Scots and Welshmen speak English and shockingly remain proud of their history and identity. For Native people to survive in a globalized, technologically advanced society and economy English and university education (as is) will do more for them than dead languages, bogus medicinal practices, and longing for a mythic past.

Over 700,000 people speak Welsh in the UK and Scottish Gaelic hasn't been in regular use since the 1300s and the fact that there is funding for language education has kept it alive along with its history after being actively suppressed for hundreds of years. Is that a bad thing or would it have been better to let it become extinct because English took over?

Also, would you mind pointing out where the report said that dead languages should be taught or are you just guessing.

In spite of this boost, the use of Welsh was actively discouraged at school under the Welsh Not policy. A stick or plaque was given to any child heard speaking Welsh during school, to be handed on to whoever next spoke the language

Handing a child a stick of shame is literally the same as abducting him from his family and raping him.

Also, do you know how the English government dealt with the abolition of the Welsh Not policies? I'll give you a hint: It involved preserving something by instituting the teaching of it, and the spending of public money was involved.

Another aboriginal girl, Makayla Sault from neighbouring New Credit First Nation, died in February after similarly pulling out of chemotherapy for leukemia.

The cancer that her parents claimed, early this year, was no longer in evidence, as the child was treated with traditional indigenous medicine, and after the family had returned from a quack therapy regime at a Florida establishment that preaches curing cancer with a positive attitude and a raw plant-based organic diet.

Your point? Other than that Rosie DiManno probably shouldn't be trusted to say anything about FN people that isn't racist?

We already allow Christian Scientists, Scientologists and Jehovah's Witnesses to use their own particular brands of "nothing" in place of sensible medical care on their children.

And the Elizabeth Bruyère Centre, which is Ottawa's biggest palliative care facility and also a direct offshoot of the Catholic Church, has publicly stated it won't allow its doctors to euthanize patients or refer them to doctors who will because that offends Catholic values!
