FOREWORD
by Matthew Rowe and Samuel Hill
Canada’s Indigenous languages are facing an uncertain future. Inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action and by The Prince of Wales’s own promotion of traditional wisdom, Prince’s Trust Canada has made Indigenous language revitalization one of our major programs. With a focus on supporting language efforts through the production of content, our work to date has produced 77 titles in 15 Indigenous languages, with over 18,000 books printed.
This language learning colouring book is the first of a new series of resources developed with a commitment to the entire content development and publishing process being led by Indigenous communities and talent such as authors, artists, translators, project managers, and advisors. Our commitment to supporting the preservation, promotion and revitalization of Indigenous languages resonates in this colouring book as it is Prince’s Trust Canada’s first language learning resource tool to utilize Indigenous talent every step of the way. To learn more about our commitment to language revitalization and how you can support these efforts, please visit www.princestrust.ca.
