There are approximately 100+ Kwakwaka’wakw members living in Nanaimo, BC. The Kwak’wala Language Group started in Nanaimo in September 2017. Three faculty members from Vancouver Island University (VIU) wrote a proposal to the Aboriginal Service Plan, which is administrated through the Office of Aboriginal Education and Engagement, to fund the program. It was a success! Now, the program is offered every two weeks to all ages at Shq’apthut “A Gathering Place” at VIU Nanaimo campus.
