Responding to TRC Calls 13-15, this Act recognizes and affirms Indigenous language rights and establishes measures for the recognition, preservation, and promotion of Indigenous languages across Canada.
Responding to TRC Call 15, this Office promotes and champions Indigenous languages and supports the efforts of Indigenous Peoples across Canada to reclaim, revitalize, maintain, and strengthen their languages.
The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) is a place of learning and dialogue where the truths of Residential School Survivors, families and communities are honoured and kept safe for future generations.
