  • Indigenous Languages
    INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES PRE-TEACH/PRE-ACTIVITY Have students look at the Indigenous languages and/or language groups that are displayed on the map. Discuss where this data came from (the 2016 census) and what biases or problems this data may have, such as the fear of self-identifying based on historical reasons or current gaps in data. Take some time to look at how censuses are performed, who participates in them, and what they can learn from the data that is and is not collected. Refer to the online and poster map of Indigenous Languages in Canada featured in the 2017 November/December issue of Canadian Geographic, and explore how students feel about the number of speakers each language has and what the current data means for the people who speak each language. Additionally, look at the language families listed and the names of each language used by the federal government in collecting this data. Discuss with students why these may not be the correct names and how they can help in the reconciliation process by using the correct language names. LEARNING OUTCOMES: • Students will learn about the number and • Students will learn about the importance of diversity of languages and language groups language and the ties it has to culture. spoken by Indigenous Peoples in Canada. • Students will become engaged in learning a • Students will learn that Indigenous Peoples local Indigenous language. in Canada speak many languages and that some languages are endangered.

  • Project Summary Report April 30Th, 2020
    Improving Communication on Climate Change and Long-Range Contaminants for Communities and Researchers in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region Project Summary Report April 30th, 2020 [Type here] Background It is well recognized that climate change will have significant impacts on not only the physical landscape, but also on social and economic landscapes within the Arctic. More specifically, climate change represents “an acute threat to socioecological systems, one that disproportionately impacts Arctic peoples”1. How these impacts will be transferred to the level of human activity remains uncertain. Therefore, the need to standardize and ensure comprehensibility of climate change wording and concepts in Inuvialuktun, is imperative in supporting informed responses by Inuvialuit communities to climate change. Climate change impacts to the Arctic environment has also sparked an unprecedented growth in climate change research being conducted in Arctic communities across the globe. This growth in research has resulted in increasingly more sophisticated and specialized terminology being used in climate change discourse. As a direct result of this advancement in scientific terminology, climate change information relayed to Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) communities has become increasingly difficult to comprehend, both conceptually and linguistically. More importantly, how an issue is framed by academic or political discourse can significantly affect the interpretation and thus the responses provided. Consequently, the gap between Traditional Knowledge (TK) and the scientific community has continued to increase over time, creating an unfortunate disconnect between researchers, politicians and ISR community members. Sallirmiutun, Uummarmiutun, and Kangiryuarmiutun, collectively known as the Inuvialuktun language, are the three dialects spoken in the ISR (Figure 1). The Inuvialuktun language is spoken by fewer than 50 per cent of the population, many of whom are Elders.

Through Unity, strong leadership, and based on Traditional Teachings, Values and Practice we provide good housing, employment and opportunities for all. Based on Respect for our Territory, we develop our natural resources on land and sea for the benefit of many generations to come.

The goal of this Plan is to define work towards achieving this Vision. Note This Ditidaht Community Plan should not be interpreted as a final or complete statement on Ditidaht rights and title. This is intended to be a working document that will continue to evolve and be updated over time. Minor edits for clarity, March 28, 2018 i Acknowledgements This Ditidaht Community Plan was created by members of the Ditidaht First Nation with the assistance of the Planning Team and everyone who provided input into the Plan. Everyone worked hard to make this a comprehensive document that acknowledges the past, understands the present, and looks to the future for our community.

  • 1 the Phonology of Wakashan Languages Adam Werle University
    1 The Phonology of Wakashan Languages Adam Werle University of Victoria, March 2010 Abstract This article offers an overview of the phonological typology and analysis of the Wakashan languages, namely Haisla, Heiltsukvla (Heiltsuk, Bella Bella), Oowekyala, Kwak’wala (Kwakiutl), Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka), Ditidaht (Nitinaht), and Makah. Like other languages of the Northwest Coast of North America, these have many consonants, including several laterals, front and back dorsals, few labials, contrastive glottalization and lip rounding, and a glottal stop with similar distribution to other consonants. Consonant-vowel sequences are characterized by large obstruent clusters, and no hiatus. Of theoretical interest at the segmental level are consonant mutations, positional neutralizations of laryngeal features, vowel-glide alternations, glottalized vowels and glottalized voiced plosives, and historical loss of nasal consonants. Also addressed here are aspects of these languages’ rich prosodic morphology, such as patterns of reduplication and templatic stem modifications, the distribution of Northern Wakashan schwa, alternations in Southern Wakashan vowel length and presence, and the syllabification of all-obstruent words. 1. Introduction The Wakashan language are spoken in what are now British Columbia, Canada, and Washington State, USA. The family comprises a northern branch—Haisla, Heiltsukvla, Oowekyala, and Kwa kwala—and̓ a southern branch—Nuu-chah-nulth, Ditidaht, and Makah— that diverge significantly from each other, but are internally very similar. They are endangered, being spoken natively by about 350 people, out of ethnic populations of about 23,000 whose main language is English. At the same time, most are undergoing active revitalization, with about 1,000 semi-speakers and learners ( First Peoples’ Language Map ).
