Abstract: Indigenous languages are more than words; they imbue spirit and create worldviews. However, they were not meant to still be in existence. This paper discusses Canada's actions against Indigenous Peoples and our relationship with languages, which is wrought with legislated inhumane actions and discriminatory practices. Further, these facets are still questioned as they still appear in present day higher educative sites. This paper also reflects oral, land, and spiritual connections between Indigenous Peoples and language that are emphasized through story highlighting survivance and love. The paper discusses the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2015) report and the 2019 Indigenous Languages Act, and how shared generational and land-based knowledge exemplify "persistence" and possibilities with and for Indigenous languages with a focus on Anishinaabemowin. Indigenous languages continue to exist.
