Local languages hold riches

Re: Experts ponder the state of Indigenous languages, March 26

The epic stories of First Nations peoples are yet to be told. Preserving even fragments of indigenous languages will help provide resources for inspiring stories we can all enjoy and benefit from.

Europeans have traditionally regarded the new world as a ready source of land, timber and minerals, but just behind the curtain of our ethno-centrism, our habitual thinking and our greed, there are greater treasures.
