Founder Belinda Daniels shares with us the journey of the nêhiyawak Summer Language Experience that takes place annually in Saskatchewan as a one-week Cree immersion language course.
Founder, Belinda Daniels discusses the nêhiyawak Summer Language Experience that takes place annually in Saskatchewan as a week-long immersive Cree language course.
The nêhiyawak Summer Language Experience was formed in early 2005 in efforts to revitalize the Cree language with an intensive summer language course open to anyone willing to learn Cree. With applications growing every year for the summer experience, wait lists have been added to ensure participants can look forward to the experience with a one-week immersion course that is land-based. Belinda Daniels shares her efforts to bring language and land together in education through the nêhiyawak Summer Language Experience’s success.
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.
