[Iswg3906.organizers] Essay on Indigenous Languages

[Peter Hopperton]

Yes! Robert Lovelace just got back to me, and he sent along two essays he's published on language. I haven't read them through yet, but I thought I'd share them right away.

Hello Peter,  Here are two essays that I have written that have something to do with language.  The first was published in a small book published by Development Studies at Queen's and the second was published by Canadian Dimension.   I have attached them here.



Thanks for remembering and your sustained interest.

Hi Bob,



My name is Peter, we met at the gathering about Line 9 in Sarnia last year. We had a good but short conversation about connection with the land, decolonization, and language, and you mentioned that you had written an essay about Indigenous language that contrasted
 them with colonizer languages. 



I'm involved with a group that's based out of the academic workers union at McMaster University, CUPE 3906, called the Indigenous Solidarity Working Group. We've been hosting a series of workshops on the broad themes of allyship, decolonization, and anti-colonial
 resistance. We're trying to put one together about language now and are in the process of assembling some readings for it.



Our discussion sparked a lot of curiosity in me, and I'd really like to include your essay on language if you were interested in sharing it.




Thanks, and I hope you're well,



-p
