They exist in the margin of Canadian culture. In Québec, they are mostly absent from arts institutions. They are also marginalized within the Indigenous art world where the lingua franca is generally English. The colonial project has imposed, sometimes quite violently, the usage of French and English. Today, communications between Indigenous nations are essentially conducted in one of the two colonial languages. In an Aboriginal context, the notion of bilingualism implies the revitalization of ancestral languages and the usage of one colonial language. This essay analyses this situation and proposes possible actions.

The idea was to bring together French-speaking Aboriginal communities, settler communities and racial minority communities so they could share their thoughts about the future of the Canadian Francophonie. This paper reports on the Diversity and Francophonie conference which brought about outstanding communication. It allowed people to reach out to one another and establish a dialogue based on respect for differences. Beyond indifference or tolerance, beyond welcoming, inclusion or integration strategies, diversity remains first and foremost a question of mutual transformation when coming in contact with one another.
