Indigenous language learning in B.C. is on the rise, with about 3,000 more learners compared to 2018, according to the First Peoples' Cultural Council.
With the hopes of making at-home language learning easy and accessible for other families, Dool created a YouTube channel, enlisting the help of her five-year-old son Brody Bear to share a different word of the day, in the family's traditional language.
The 2022 Report on the Status of B.C. First Nations Languages shows that progress is being made, Herbert said, adding multi-year government funding is needed to ensure long-term learning and revitalization. The First Peoples' Cultural Council released its fourth Report on the Status of B.C. First Nations Languages.
In 2018, there were only two full-time Indigenous language programs in British Columbia. As of 2022, eight programs are offered in seven different languages and approximately 2,417 children are learning an Indigenous language in early childhood facilities.
