Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre’s (Resource Centre) five First Nations language teams have officially launched an exciting new chapter with the Canadian Heritage Foundational Language Acquisition Video Series. This initiative, supported by Canadian Heritage’s Indigenous Languages Program, brings together skilled instructional resource developers and dedicated First Nations language translators from the Languages and Cultures Department. Their shared mission is to revitalize Manitoba’s traditional languages.
The project focuses on creating foundational language videos for all five of Manitoba’s First Nations languages: Ininīmowin (Cree), Dakota Iapi, Denesuline Yatiye, Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe), and Anisininimowin (Ojibwe-Cree). Each language holds unique stories, customs, and perspectives, embodying the rich cultural heritage of its First Nations. By producing these educational videos, staff seek to revive the languages of First Nations in Manitoba with accessible resources that reach a broad audience.
