Revitalizing Indigenous languages: What role can the media play?

In this episode, host Cierra Bettens explores the efforts to revitalize Indigenous languages across Turtle Island.

February is I Love to Read month, and APTN reporter Tiar Wheatle is leading Mother Tongue Teachings—a new series featuring language speakers sharing a phrase of the day. Tiar joins us to discuss the series, her language journey, and the role of journalists in language revitalization.

We also hear from Adam Garnet-Jones, APTN’s director of TV content, who takes us behind the scenes of the new APTN Languages channel, which airs programming in over 18 Indigenous languages.

Listen in as we put Indigenous language revitalization InFocus.
