Canadian academics have helped launch a number of initiatives to revitalize Indigenous languages in recent years. They've compiled dictionaries, created an online platform to teach the Wolastoqey language, begun studying and documenting Innu vocabulary used to describe the environment and set up an intensive course in Algonquian language teaching methodologies. And when the United Nations educational, scientific and cultural organization announced the Indigenous Languages Decade, the Canadian academic community stepped up with projects to revitalize some of Canada's 70 Indigenous languages.
