In March 2020, the COVID-19 global health crisis caused disruption to the daily lives and regular practices of most human populations. Indigenous language revitalization (ILR) work is often undertaken face-to-face and regularly includes the most elderly populations in our communities. Therefore, ILR activities that were not already online were vastly affected. The authors of this Situation Report are three Indigenous colleagues, scholars, language teachers, learners and co-activists in the on-going efforts toward the reclaiming, maintaining, and reviving of Indigenous languages across the lands now known as Canada and the USA. We describe the early impacts, challenges and foreseeable opportunities this current global health crisis brings to the critical work of continuing Indigenous languages into the future.

2020年3月，COVID-19全球健康危机导致大多数人口的日常生活和常规习俗受到干扰。土著语言振兴（ILR）工作通常是面对面进行的，并定期包括我们社区中老年人口最多的人群。因此，尚未在线的ILR活动受到很大影响。情况报告的作者是三位土著同事，学者，语言老师，学习者和共同活动者，他们为在如今被称为加拿大和美国的土地上进行回收，维护和复兴而不断努力。我们描述了当前的全球健康危机为继续将土著语言延续到未来的关键工作带来的早期影响，挑战和可预见的机会。
