Language Revitalization Program


The Language Revitalization Program, facilitated by Fran Brown in Bella Bella, BC, involves Heiltsuk language learning activities.

Fran Brown has 15 years of experience teaching the Heiltsuk language within the community school in Bella Bella, BC, and has successfully adapted teaching techniques to suit the local children. The Language Revitalization Program connects programs delivered by local organizations to ensure the revitalization of the Heiltsuk language. The resilience of the Heiltsuk teachers and learners can contribute to the future of other languages across Canada.

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.
