There's also a large English-speaking population that never learned Squamish, since they settled in Granville about 150 years ago.

I'd argue it's a bit harder to endanger a majority language without violent relocation and re-education camps that the Squamish people suffered; but point taken.

I am sure the Kunda, Comb Ceramic, Corded Ware, Kiukainen, and Pöljä who used to occupy most of Finland didn't speak modern Finnish, yet here we are.

I understand the desire to make political points about the status of native/first nations populations in Canada, but frankly, English and French are Canada's official languages.
