About this service
Many Indigenous languages are disappearing due to colonialism, residential schools and backward government policies. As the years pass there are fewer and fewer fluent speakers left.
The Pacific Association of First Nations Women is facilitating a Cree and Ojibway Language Program. Several elders who are fluent in either language have volunteered to be teachers and pass down their knowledge. This program is open to Indigenous people who are of Cree or Ojibway decent. Children are welcome and encouraged to participate.
There are several steps in the program:
- Introduction to Cree and Ojibway language program: is just now finishing up its fifth cycle and will start a BASIC Cree and Ojibway class.
- Cree and Ojibway Conversations Circles: New class information to come!
- Cree and Ojibway Drop In Circles: New class information to come!
