Learning how to say "hello" or displaying a welcome sign in the language of the local First Nation are just a few ways the author is encouraging people to get involved. "To learn a greeting but also the appropriate response is a way of deepening our understanding of that language a little bit, and being able to have just a very short conversation," McIvor told On The Island host Gregor Craigie. "A greeting and a response is a way of beginning to learn the Indigenous language of the territory that you're in."According to the CBC, McIvor's goal in creating the list was to provide a starting point for communities to gain a better understanding of the local Indigenous peoples whose lands their towns and cities are built upon. Hopefully, its an idea that spreads to other areas as well.
