TRC Calls to Action: #16
Legacy
Language & Culture
16. We call upon post-secondary institutions to create university and college degree and diploma programs in Aboriginal languages.
It looks like many post-secondary institutions in Canada have taken up this Call. For a list of language education and training programs and other resources, check out this Government of Canada page. Not included on this list are University of Toronto, University of Victoria, Lakehead University, UBC, University of Winnipeg, University of Calgary, McMaster, Waterloo, York, Trent, and many more. I'm glad to see centres of higher learning are stepping up and contributing to reconciliation in this regard, and I'd be interested to hear from folks (Indigenous and otherwise) who have taken these programs: what was their experience, what could be improved etc...
