Infographic titled “Literacy and Language Revitalization.” Five coloured blocks highlight key points: literacy is contextual and power-linked; print is not the only literacy, with many communities centring oral and other non-print practices; Indigenous literacies are ancestral, land-based, and multimodal; language and literacy planning should be community-led rather than top-down; and reimagining literacy for multilingual, multiliterate futures best supports revitalization.
