The First Nations Language Keepers Gathering is an annual event that celebrates and preserves the rich linguistic heritage of First Nations communities. Our theme, "Our Sacred Languages Walk with Us," underscores the vital role that indigenous languages play in maintaining cultural identity and continuity through generations.

 

This gathering serves as a vibrant forum for language speakers, educators, advocates, and community leaders to exchange knowledge, strategies, and resources aimed at revitalizing and sustaining indigenous languages. Attendees can look forward to a range of workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration and innovation in language preservation efforts.

 

Our languages are not merely means of communication; they are the essence of our cultural wisdom and traditions. The 2024 gathering will explore the dynamic ways in which our sacred languages live within us and among us, influencing our connection to each other, to our ancestors, and to the land.

 

Join us as we affirm our commitment to nurturing the voices of the past and inspiring those of the future, ensuring that our sacred languages continue to walk with us, every step of the way.
