Tip for this video: If the sound is bad change the quality to 1080p

Fall 2025 registration requests will begin August 15th, 2025. Courses begin the week of September 22.

These introductory workshops are intended to provide an opportunity for Indigenous children with no prior experience to learn their languages and will help Indigenous children with little knowledge to improve or maintain their languages and identity.

Children’s classes are geared towards children 6 to 12 years old.

Play and informal learning is the pedagogical approach, we make learning their language fun!
