Anne Kang, B.C.’s minister of advanced education and skills training announced UBC Okanagan will offer the language degree of indigenous language(Nsyilxcn). This is one of the most exemplary governmental efforts to revitalize indigenous languages and cultures. As Kang said, this program will definitely motivate many people who are recognizing the danger of indigenous language extinction. I hope this program can be the first step to make indigenous languages be “an official academic field” in BC and opportunity to revitalize all the other endangered indigenous languages
