Current Programming
2024
Adult Language Program
From September 2023 - June 2024 we implemented an adult language course in the community of Gitwangak using the Where Are Your Keys method of teaching language, or elements of it. So far, this is the most effective method that we've used and we look forward to continuing to build our capacity in this method and completing a curriculum that will hopefully bring our language learners through a beginner level to an intermediate level of language speaking. This course will likely be implemented in Gitanmaax in September 2024 - June 2025.
Chilkat Weaving Courses
We are currently focussing on training 5 new Chilkat Weavers in our Nation and supporting them to gain the skills necessary to be able to weave independently.

As we build capacity we look forward to applying for more funding and implementing more programming committed to the maintenance and revitalization of our language and cultural practices.
