Education<br />
Being You<br />
is to know your language<br />
“Our language is like a pearl inside a shell.<br />
The shell is like the people that carry the language.<br />
If our language is taken away, then that would be like a pearl that is gone.<br />
We would be like an empty oyster shell”.<br />
What I understand about the<br />
above quote, is that every person has<br />
a responsibility to protect his or her<br />
indigenous language and preserve its future so that<br />
future generations may learn from it.<br />
Being able to communicate clearly and confidently<br />
is a key function for all. Knowing how to speak your<br />
home language fluently connects a person to their<br />
ethnic group and in that way identity is shaped.<br />
Knowing where you come from as a person is vital.<br />
