“…As Bourgeois, De la Sablonnière, and Taylor (2018) argue, Indigenous languages are central to Indigenous communities' identity. Speaking the same language is a valuable resource for ethno‐national groups as it is a recognised – although not necessarily exclusive – marker for the definition of the distinctive culture of a group.…”

Most Indigenous peoples' languages are considered severely endangered, and Mapuzungun is no exception. Mapuche associations in Santiago de Chile have implemented a series of workshops to revitalise the language and revert this trend. This article uses ethnographic data to analyse two interconnected aspects that have motivated members of Mapuche associations to participate in community language workshops, namely identity and community‐building. Although they have contributed to reverse the loss of Mapuzungun in Santiago, the implementation of language workshops has been limited by a state socio‐political framework that has historically reproduced colonial‐based ideologies that have reinforced the subalternisation of Indigenous languages. This article highlights the dynamic interplay of Mapuzungun revitalisation with practices that reinforce coloniality.

“…Of course, there are challenges and significant room for improvement. 227 While Te Kōhanga Reo has helped revitalize Te Reo Māori for some, scholars have argued that a 'strong monolingual (English only) attitude [persists] in the general population.' 228 Māori remain the vast majority of Te Reo Māori speakers, and those who can 'hold a conversation in te reo dropped from 4.5 percent [of the entire New Zealand population] in 2001 to 3.7 in 2013.'…”

In recent years, several Australian states have formally committed to treaty negotiations with the First Peoples whose traditional lands they claim. The emerging treaty processes in Australia build on both the comprehensive land claim agreements currently under negotiation in Canada as well as the historic treaties struck between First Peoples and colonial powers in North America and Aotearoa / New Zealand. Parties engaged in these negotiations appropriately view treaties as mechanisms through which First Peoples and non-Indigenous political communities can settle ongoing tensions surrounding political autonomy, citizenship, and pluralism. However, it is not clear whether these processes can produce such outcomes. In this article, we contend that, although fairer processes of negotiation may avoid some of the problems of historic treaties, modern treaty making in Canada, Australia, and elsewhere will fail to meet the parties' aspirations unless greater attention is paid to building relational characteristics. We do so by outlining the promises and perils in modern treaty making with an eye toward understanding the limits of the law.
