It's just an effort to raise the prestige of Mohawk. Like all the disinformation about how English is just essential to everyone's economic future.
The prestige of English is wide but shallow: everyone's just in it for the money, and if something nicer shows up, the world will abandon English in a heartbeat.
If a language has spiritual value (like Latin, Sanskrit, or Classical Arabic), that's tapping into a narrower but deeper source of prestige.
