First Peoples’ Cultural Council (FPCC) has various initiatives and grants that work towards supporting Indigenous languages in BC.

FPCC is a strong advocate for Indigenous peoples’ right to live and speak our languages and practice our cultures. We provide funding, training, resources and support for language revitalization.

Programs offered include their youth empowered speakers program, language revitalization planning program, language technology program, mentor-apprentice programs, and language nest programs for young speakers. Also included is FirstVoices, a program designed to support the use of online tools for language documentation.

Grants offered by FPCC support community-led efforts in digitization, language gatherings and sharing, and language revitalization activities. Grants are combined as part of their Pathways to Language Vitality Program, which allows flexibility for communities to address needs specific to their community.
