On March 19th the opening event of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL 2022–2032), declared by The United Nations General Assembly, will take place in the Livonian National House in Irē (Mazirbe). Symbolically the opening event will combine one of the most unique Livonian traditions – bird awakening – and initiatives of establishing Livonian language and culture in the digital environment. IDIL 2022-2032 was declared as a continuation to The Year of Indigenous Languages (2019). The goal of The Decade is to attract attention to the role the indigenous languages play in language diversity as well as preserve these languages, the majority of which are endangered. Livonians are indigenous people in Latvia and Livonian is one of the most endangered languages in the world. This makes The Decade and its planned activities important in Latvia in order to ensure survival and continuation of Livonian. The opening of The Decade has been aligned with the bird awakening
