Indigenous languages, in contrast, have been marginalized, along with those who speak them. And so efforts to center students’ Indigenous languages are getting stymied even as the country’s constitution guarantees them on paper. The UN General Assembly declared 2022–2032 as the International Decade of Indigenous Languages and formed a global task force under UNESCO. In his advocacy for the use of Indigenous languages in schools in India, one of the major issues Bara encountered was the lack of Indigenous teachers who are well-versed and trained in teaching such languages. This curriculum was devised in consultation with the community and brought the schools under the administrative control of the Maskwacîs Education Schools Commission.
