Indigenous Language Learning

Indigenous Language Learning

These courses are open to everyone – both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants who wish to learn to uplift language revitalization. If you are a non-Indigenous language learner, we invite you to review these reflections on what it means to be a non-Indigenous learner in an Indigenous language learning course.

Indigenous languages carry connections to lands, ancestors, traditions, and contain ecological knowledge crucial for sustainable living, medicinal practices, and traditional storytelling, enriching our collective wisdom. By supporting Indigenous language revitalization efforts, we not only preserve linguistic diversity but also uphold Indigenous Peoples’ fundamental rights to their languages and cultures.

Our intention being not to offer a second language program where participants achieve fluency, but rather to provide a spark—an introduction that inspires and encourages further engagement with the language and broader revitalization efforts. We aim to create a welcoming space where learners can begin their journey, build connections, and develop a foundation for future learning opportunities.

Non-Indigenous participants can take steps towards reconciliation by participating in language courses like these as a way to uplift language revitalization and deepen their own understanding of local place.

Indigenous language courses that our charity has offered in the past, and we hope to offer again, include:

  • Ktunaxa
  • Michif
  • Nêhiyawêwin (Cree)
  • Secwepemctsín
  • Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe)
  • Kanyen’keha (Mohawk)
  • Mi’kmaq (Mi’kmaw)

You can sign-up for our updates if you'd like to be notified of future courses.
