"The Penticton Indian Band partnered with local industry experts to develop a 20 lot community subdivision of homes that are highly energy efficient. Watch our video to see how they accomplished this.”
This study finds that “thriving economies are the biggest factor in the disappearance of minority languages and conservation should focus on the most developed countries where languages are vanishing the fastest.”
“This paper lays out the foundations of an alternative approach which posits that all languages and cultures, regardless of their status or numerical size, can be integrated into processes of socio-economic development, and that none is inherently anti-development.”
“The authors attempt to review, assess and categorize the major orientations of the research on the economics of language. Those include a traditional strand of research that has focused on language and economic status, the dynamic development of languages, and language policy and planning, as well as a new strand based on game theory and pragmatics. The authors propose the use of the term “Language and economics” to define this area of research.”
“This study is for people who want Native American languages to not only survive, but also prosper and be so strengthened that they remain relevant and conversationally useful indefinitely. Saving and further strengthening our Native languages is the very same as saving our own core cultural beings while helping instill a long-neglected sense of pride and self-worth in our peoples.”
“This paper offers a general review of literature relating to the maintenance, development and enhancement of Aboriginal languages in North America, especially Canada.”
“This book seeks to clarify postcolonial Indigenous thought beginning at the new millennium. It represents the voices of the first generation of global Indigenous scholars and converges those voices, their analyses, and their dreams of a decolonized world.”
