SASKATCHEWAN INDIGENOUS CULTURAL CENTRE
Teaching Sacred Languages
A First Nation language revitalization resource and workshop supporting language teachers, Knowledge Keepers and community educators.
Overview
Teaching Sacred Languages supports First Nation language revitalization through Indigenous knowledge systems, Elder guidance, and practical language teaching methods. This initiative includes both a curriculum resource and a two-day workshop designed to help language teachers, Knowledge Holders, and community educators strengthen language learning in classrooms, communities, and land-based settings.
Curriculum Resource
The Teaching Sacred Language Curriculum was developed from a First Nation perspective with guidance from Elders, master teachers, and language champions. The curriculum includes seasonal planning, language revitalization stages, vocabulary and sentence development, assessment tools, daily routine rubrics, comprehension checklists, and adaptable lesson plan templates.
Free Workshop
This free two-day workshop brings together language teachers, Knowledge Holders, and community educators to share, learn, and strengthen First Nation language revitalization efforts.
Participants will explore teaching approaches such as Total Physical Response (TPR) and Accelerated Second Language Acquisition (ASLA) in a supportive, land-based environment.
Spots are limited to 35 participants. Meals are included.
