Considering the  massive amount of money that has and will be accumulated from the extraction  of natural resources from treaty and unceded First Nations  traditional land, it seems reasonable that some of it could pay for the preservation of  First Nations languages.  It could be that if First Nations children  hadn't had their original languages beaten out of them in tax payer funded Residential  Schools  those languages wouldn't be in danger of disappearing.  The way some people bleat about how tough it is to be privileged members of the colonial elite  would be laughable if it wasn't such a sad joke.
