Elder Language Videos

We are honoured to share these nqilxʷcən (Okanagan) language videos with Elder Pauline Gregoire-Archachan from Okanagan Indian Band as a gift to community. li̓mləmt, Elder Pauline, it is such a blessing to learn with you! 

Our intention is remove barriers to accessing language in a meaningful way and to not put a price on language. While our resources can be used alongside these videos, they are not required. Just as the Juniper Tree resiliently grows out of the side of mountains requiring very little water, we want to ensure that language and culture is preserved long after we leave this earth for the generations to come!
