Project Description

The BC Breath of Life Archival Institute for First Nations Languages provided an opportunity for First Nations community language workers in BC to participate in a week-long Institute at the University of British Columbia between May 14-20, 2017, for the reclamation and revitalization of BC First Nations languages. The first-ever of its type in Canada, the Institute brought together speakers and linguists to work on locating and mobilizing archival materials at UBC.
