Donna Lerat teaches early learners their Cree identity through language and music at the K’Awasis Daycare.
Donna Lerat is the Director of the K’Awasis Daycare on Cowesses First Nation, Saskatchewan. She has observed her community lose their cultural identity and language. At the Daycare, Lerat has implemented an Indigenous language and cultural protocols program for early learners to age twelve. By introducing young people, and the daycare staff, to Cree language and traditions, Lerat hopes to be part of the change whereby young people learn Cree, and learn, not just how to, but why they practice Cree cultural protocols and traditions. Cree language recordings and music are played throughout the day and children practice vocabulary related to numeracy, months, animals, basic words, and phrases related to greetings. Opportunities to engage early learners in Cree language acquisition will better equip them to learn Cree in school settings and that success will, hopefully, make them proud and confident Cree language speakers.
The ASLA program, developed by Dr. S. Neyooxet Greymorning, is being delivered by Paula Mackinaw to teach Cree with the Miyo Wahkotowin Education Authority in Maskwacis, Alberta.
The Accelerated Second Language Acquisition (ASL) program, developed by Dr. Steven Neyooxet Greymorning, has been modified and is being delivered by Paula Mackinaw with the Miyo Wahkotowin Education Authority in Maskwacis, Alberta. The ASLA program is taught in the target language, Cree, and is very repetitive and forces the learner to think in the target language. It is all oral with many visuals. It helps students develop an identity and traditional culture. It produces thinkers and speakers of the language taught.
Language program is a life long learning journey.

L’École des Quatre Vents de Chicoutimi accueille depuis près d’une année le Projet particulier à valeur autochtone. Ce projet, visant la réussite scolaire des élèves autochtones, offre des cours pour les jeunes élèves de la préscolaire à la 3e année du primaire. L’École des Quatre Vents est la première école primaire offrant un programme adapté aux besoins des élèves autochtones habitant en milieu urbain. Il s’agit d’un modèle inclusif où jeunes autochtones et allochtones se fréquentent, apprennent à se connaître et à partager leurs cultures. Le projet à valeur autochtone permet d’offrir un enseignement de qualité aux élèves tout en leur permettant de préserver leurs croyances, leur langue et leur culture. De plus, « l’apport de la culture autochtone est intégré au sein de l’école » (Commission scolaire des Rives-du-Saguenay, 2017), et ce, de façon générale. Ainsi, à l’École des Quatre Vents, les élèves peuvent développer leur plein potentiel, puisqu’on retrouve des enseignements et des services adaptés aux besoins des jeunes autochtones vivant en milieu urbain. Pour ce projet, la direction de l’École des Quatre Vents a consulté divers acteurs du milieu de l’éducation autochtones, tels que les directions scolaires, les enseignants, les parents, les membres des communautés, afin de créer un milieu éducatif qui correspond aux besoins des jeunes. Il s’agit d’un milieu accueillant et sécurisant pour les jeunes et leurs parents. On y retrouve d’ailleurs plusieurs locaux, dont deux salles de classe et une salle parents-enfants qui ont été réfléchies selon les spécificités culturelles des élèves autochtones. À travers ce projet, plusieurs objectifs sont poursuivis. La persévérance scolaire, l’intégration de plusieurs aspects culturels dans le milieu éducatif, la création d’un milieu sécurisant et stimulant pour les jeunes, l’implication des parents dans l’éducation de leurs enfants, en sont des exemples. L’apprentissage de la langue maternelle y est primordial et on retrouve des activités de valorisation culturelles promouvant les oeuvres, les traditions et l’identité autochtone.

Using a Cree immersion curriculum, the Kihew Waciston Cree Immersion School provides youth with opportunities to know who they are and where they come from.
The Kihew Waciston (Onion Lake) Cree Immersion School was developed in 2005 by a Cree linguist, Brian Macdonald, and local leadership. The school educates the next generation of language and cultural keepers and focuses on language retention, spoken language, and Cree identity. The school’s language outcomes are adapted from the provincial curriculum, but remain centered around speaking, listening, reading, and writing. They follow four foundational objectives which include: language development, kinship, identity, and reminding the youth about who they are. The school’s curriculum has been developed using the Gift of Language immersion program, which is intended for early childhood to Grade 4. The school hopes to engage more language learners as new curriculum for additional grades are developed.
