Book
Report on the status of B.C. First Nations Languages / authors, Suzanne Gessner, Tracey Herbert & Aliana Parker.
"British Columbia is unique within Canada with 34 distinct First Nations languages originating on this land. Every four years, the First Peoples' Cultural Council (FPCC) surveys First Nations communities to collect information that tracks the accomplishments around language learning and celebrates the success we see over time. This report is the first edition. The goal of the report is to provide current information to First Nations communities and leadership and all levels of government to assist with language planning and revitalization. We also hope this information will be useful to the general public so they can learn more about the languages in the regions where they live. This year, we are pleased to report several areas of growth, due in the large part to increased funding from provincial and federal governments. Long-term sustainable funding will be needed to continue the positive momentum."-- Executive Summary, page 5.
