March 31st is National Indigenous Languages Day.
Celebrated since 1993, this day is an opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to honour Turtle Island's extensive linguistic legacy. Despite the diversity of Indigenous languages (12 language families) in the colonial framework of Canada, three languages (the Cree languages, Inuktitut and Ojibway) accounted for almost two-thirds of the population having an Indigenous language as mother tongue. This is a curated subset of book and ebook titles found in the Leddy Library's collection.
