dc.descriptionSummary This chapter elaborated on the power of partnerships between educational and Indigenous communities, and provides important policy and practice exemplars for others engaged or interested in language revitalization work. We highlighted the challenges and successes of creating and launching this kind of work within and alongside a mainstream institution. We also set out our goals for revising our approaches to make our programs responsive to the passion of our communities—to revitalize their languages, and to take back their educational systems. At the heart of all of this are our languages, and our language warriors who will lift them up and ensure life breathes through them once again. Our hope is that together with our community partners, we are one small part of lighting the fire needed to sustain Indigenous languages for the benefit of our children, Indigenous peoples themselves and the betterment of a whole and just society.en_US
