Parliamentary debates, committee hearings, and proposed amendments on Bill C-91—particularly the rejected Inuit-specific provisions for Inuktut across Nunangut—reveal how a dual white settler coloniality operates through a racialized linguistic hierarchy that persistently subordinates Indigenous languages despite decades of Indigenous advocacy and rhetorical state commitments to reconciliation.\nEve Haque is Professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics at York University. Her research and teaching interests include multiculturalism, white settler colonialism and language policy. She is also the author of Multiculturalism within a Bilingual Framework: Language, Race and Belonging in Canada (University of Toronto Press).\nThe lecture is presented by the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies at York University and the International Council for Canadian Studies.\nFor more information: iccsciec@yorku.ca\n \n \n\n
