In conclusion, it is necessary to work for the maintenance and development of indigenous languages and for their use throughout society. But it is also necessary to work with the rest of the population, to promote a culture which respects cultural diversity and enrichment between cultures, in order to establish a framework for inclusive democracy.Regards,
