Usefulness for research on Indigenous knowledge, media, and community reality:

The major goals of this curriculum are:

• to promote student participation in varied learning situations and activities that will assist them in acquiring listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in an Indian or Michif language;
• to develop an understanding and an appreciation of Indian and Métis cultures through language;
• to develop students’ listening skills which will assist them in the learning of an Indian language in various social contexts and situations;
• to encourage enjoyment of learning to converse and to write in an Indian or Michif language;
• to cultivate positive personal and social growth through use of an Indian or Michif language.
• to encourage students to continue to acquire fluency through independent study with Elders and other fluent speakers.
