About 200 people are attending a conference on Native language and culture in Cornwall, Ontario.
"Raising Our Voices" is hosted by the Sweetgrass First Nation Language Council, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne.
Youth, elders and educators are discussing ways to keep their languages and cultures alive.
Michael Kanentakeron Mitchell, grand chief of the Mohawk Council, said some Native languages will die out within 10 years unless they are passed on to a new generation.
