In the heart of Prince George, BC, a profound cultural revival is underway. Jennifer Pighin, collaborating with respected elders from the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation, leads a crucial initiative to resuscitate the endangered Dakelh language. This passionate endeavour aims to preserve the linguistic heritage that is essential to cultural diversity and identity.
Amid concerns that the Dakelh language may soon fade into obscurity, Jennifer's dedication to developing a comprehensive language curriculum represents a beacon of hope. This curriculum isn't just designed for preserving the past; it's about laying down the foundations for a vibrant future, aiming to be implemented in public schools.
