Comments from the Introduction Classes:
“I really loved the connection the class created and the opportunity the class gave to hear stories, sing songs and learn the language. I really appreciate that I can now introduce myself in my mother’s language.“
“I had a great time listening to everyone’s stories and all learning together.“
We are grateful for the ongoing support from the First People’s Cultural Council
