Module 3 Post 2: Hul’qumi’num Language and Culture in Nanaimo-Ladysmith

The school district of Nanaimo-Ladysmith (SD 68) on Vancouver Island provides quite a robust Indigenous education program, and more specifically a Hul’qumi’num Language and Culture curriculum. Their website contains resource packages including lesson plans developed by the Hul’qumi’num Language Stakeholders group for grades 5-12. These resources provide good examples of how languages might be preserved and valued in public schools. Exploring the Indigenous languages of Canada also helps to decolonize the education systems in which we currently work in.
