Thesis (Ph.D.)--York University (Canada), 2008.

The writing of this dissertation began with a relatively simple thought in mind. Indigenous languages and cultures are critical to the sustainability of ecosystems, in ways similar to species and habitats that are critical to ecological diversity and sustainability of those same ecosystems. In this shared reality, if endangerment and extinction are common problems, could there also be shared solutions? If endangered isolated species and isolated indigenous languages often share the same characteristics of rareness, fragility, uniqueness and vulnerability to extinction, is it not possible that the techniques developed by ecology for the protection and restoration of species and habitats, might be useful in thinking about restoring and protecting indigenous languages and cultures? Conversely, could the protection and restoration of indigenous languages aid in protecting and restoring biodiversity? .

520 $a The writing of this dissertation began with a relatively simple thought in mind. Indigenous languages and cultures are critical to the sustainability of ecosystems, in ways similar to species and habitats that are critical to ecological diversity and sustainability of those same ecosystems. In this shared reality, if endangerment and extinction are common problems, could there also be shared solutions? If endangered isolated species and isolated indigenous languages often share the same characteristics of rareness, fragility, uniqueness and vulnerability to extinction, is it not possible that the techniques developed by ecology for the protection and restoration of species and habitats, might be useful in thinking about restoring and protecting indigenous languages and cultures? Conversely, could the protection and restoration of indigenous languages aid in protecting and restoring biodiversity? .
520 $a That thought held true through a number of comparisons---from the shared concepts of threatened, endangered and extinct , to protection, conservation and restoration ; from indicator species for ecological integrity, to language as an indicator of cultural integrity; from the devastating effects of an invasive species or an invasive language, to the continued sustainability of habitats or cultures. Indigenous languages, in turn, reflect traditional environmental knowledge, and affect worldview, or at least shape cultures. As an indigenous language exists within its culture, and that culture exist within its ecosystem, ecological restoration and sustainability then must also include linguistic and cultural restoration. .
520 $a The convergence of indigenous languages within cultures and ecosystems and endangered species within habitats and ecosystems led to a further conclusion. A dialogue between people involved in protecting and restoring endangered languages and those involved in protecting endangered species would indeed be useful. It would be even more useful to understand that for the revitalization of endangered languages, cultures and species, habitats to be effective, it requires an integrated approach to restoring and protecting the ecosystem that harbor them both. The integrated approach would go beyond "strategies" for maintaining and protecting languages, cultures or species and habitats: it would require the creation of effectively restored "islands" in which they would have the opportunity to thrive. We are living in an age of extinctions in species and habitats as well as languages and cultures, and the tide is not turning. Knowing what we need to do falls short of having the will and the wisdom to do it.
