Indigenous Peoples today throughout the world are living in a “Juneteenth Moment”! Only 36 years after the ban on using Hawaiian language as a medium of instruction in Hawaiʻi was lifted, Maui County residents this election cycle are voting to make their government bilingual! Hawaiian language teacher and Indigenous linguistic rights activist Michael “Malulani” Odegaard is the founder of both Hawaiʻi Bilingual and Californians for the Legalization of Indigenous Languages. http://www.facebook.com/CaliforniaLIL
Malulani will review:
~ the international human rights theory of Genocide
~ the 2007 United Nations International Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples
~ the Hawaiian language revitalization movement that has grown the number of speakers of Hawaiian language from a few hundred to over 30,000 speakers today, a phenomenon that has inspired similar Indigenous language revitalization programs among North American First Nations.
Come learn more about the movement to gain legal recognition of California’s Indigenous languages, Indigenous Languages Worldwide and the interconnected movements that have led up to this moment!
