Based on feedback at language planning session one, our Steering Committee developed three broad community goals which would help to include all Kahnawa’kehró:non in language planning and revitalization. At session two on January 18, 2018, participants were invited to give suggestions on how the larger community could reach these goals.

THREE COMMUNITY GOALS

Learning Kahnawà:ke’s anthem by 2019 (*Based on a suggestion from the Elders table at Session One – learning the “old songs” that promote pride for language and identity in Kahnawà:ke)

Kanien’kéha in the home

Kanien’kéha as language of point-of-service

The following document details the comments and suggestions of each table at planning session two on January 18, 2018:
