Language Revitalization - Neqweyqwelsten School -Simpcw


Neqweyqwelsten School is a community run school with the vision of revitalizing the Secwepemctsin language in the community.

A small school on the outskirts of Barriere British Columbia located in the community of Simpcw sits a Secwepemctsin language school. Starting from a small class of just a few students this program now runs at capacity. Charli Fortier a language instructor takes us through the history of Neqweyqwelsten School and what it has to offer. She explains the programs that they run and her visions for education.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
