While it's perhaps a noble goal, there are over 70 distinct aboriginal languages and dialects in Canada. Hul'qumi'num' is spoken by about 260 of them. Much lower than many others, but how do you expect people to learn the basics of them all?

I'm fine with the names, but I don't think you can expect people to learn the languages unless it is somehow relevant to them.
