Indigenous Language Resources

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission calls for the teaching of Indigenous languages to be a priority. The Office of the Treaty Commissioner believes the learning and preservation of Indigenous language is of vital importance to keep cultures strong. We have compiled a list of Indigenous language resources and will add more recommended pages and apps as they become available. We welcome your recommendations as well.
