In writing, the word choice or diction refers to the type of words and language used by an author in a text and that convey a specific point of view or perspective. Additionally, word choice can be classified as formal, casual, informal, among others. In the text presented in which the author explains Native American people were always multilingual the use of academical terms such as "multilingual", "mother tongue",  "colonization" and "acquisition", along with the serious and impersonal tone made the word choice in this excerpt formal.

Additionally, this formal diction along with the impersonal tone and details such as "not only their mother tongue but that of sister nations and cultures" and "Native American people speaking French, English, and Spanish" convey the idea that the author believes Native American people have always been multilingual even after the colonization and are particularly skilled at doing this. Therefore, the word choice affects the passage as the words used formally convey his view that Native Americans were always particularly adept at learning new languages.
