End of the language plan – 2022

On By WahéhshonIn Updates!Leave a comment

The first strategic plan for language revitalization in Kahnawà:ke was launched in 2018. The community goals and objectives set were meant to be carried through until 2022. The global covid-19 pandemic had a drastic impact on language reclamation work in many Onkwehón:we communities and Kahnawà:ke was no exception. Despite this, many language learners, advocates and educators adapted programming and adjusted objectives as needed.

The Skátne Enionkwaió’ten advisory committee is coming together to revisit the community language plan, and discuss the next steps in our language movement.

More updates to come in early 2023!

This event was a huge success and may become an annual gathering in Kahnawà:ke!
