Mi'kmaq Language 9

Mi’kmaq Language can be taken by students in place of Core French at any grade to fulfill their second language requirement.  This curriculum is not organized by grade but by stages of language development in an offer to meet the needs of all learners based on their level of language development.

The Mi’kmaq language is an ancient language that has been shared over the centuries in Mi’kma’ki. It is a sacred language, given to the L'nu people by Kisu’lkw. The Mi’kmaq language is the way in which Mi’kmaq values, customs, beliefs, and attitudes are shared and passed down from one generation to the next. To learn the language, therefore, is to deepen one’s understanding of Mi’kmaq consciousness and identity
