🎶 On Its Knees, but Still Songing. Dr Eoin Ó Cuinneagáin reflects on the rapid erasure of Irish Gaelic, from 4 million speakers down to 72,000. Yet, colonised peoples hold onto their songs and music to preserve ecological and spiritual knowledge against institutional erasure. #IESS2026 #IndigenousKnowledge #Unisarandi

"Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam - A nation without a language is a nation without a soul." Dr Eoin Ó Cuinneagáin highlights linguistic poverty at #IESS2026: true impoverishment is not just monetary, but the inability to speak your language, describe your world, and connect with your ancestors. #IndigenousKnowledge #Unisarandi
