Indigenous Languages

Indigenous languages are the entryway to Indigenous cultures,  philosophies and traditional knowledge; sustaining Indigenous languages is intrinsically tied to sustaining Earth’s biodiversity. It is estimated that more than 2,000 languages are endangered or going silent, with less than 1,000 speakers remaining.

Please follow our Elbert Chartrand Friendship Centre Facebook Page for upcoming events.
