"While many Canadians are currently justifiably concerned about environmental degradation, few are aware that indigenous languages which have been spoken for thousands of years are on the verge of extinction. These languages are not simply other ways of labelling the world, they represent other ways of perceiving and being in the world; indeed they are actual life forms. The Squamish language, a member of the Salishan family of languages, is one of these endagered languages."
