Everyone is welcome to join us for this introductory online Ktunaxa Language Course starting on Monday, January 20th. outdoorlearning.com/event/ktunaxa-language-course/
Join Alfred Joseph and Mara Nelson for 8 weeks of Foundational Ktunaxa Language Learning. Learn the sounds, words and some history of the Ktunaxa Language. This course is designed for you to garner skills that will enable you to carry Ktunaxa Language forward to your classrooms, communities and on the Land.
We know that Indigenous knowledge and perspectives are foundational to outdoor learning and learning from the land, and that learning that language of the local land is a critical part of deepening knowledge and understanding. Non-Indigenous educators 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 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 Peoplesβ fundamental rights to their languages and cultures.
If you are a non-Indigenous language learner, we encourage you to review these reflections prior to commencing this course on what it means to be a non-Indigenous learner in an Indigenous language learning course: outdoorlearning.com/non-indigenous-learners/
We hope you can join us! π»
