The fight to revitalize Canada's Indigenous languages
University Affairs Nov 8, 2010

Welcome to the Yawenda project, a federally funded, million-dollar effort launched in August 2007 that aims to revive the use of the Huron-Wendat language of the Wendake First Nation. This in-depth look by University Affairs magazine includes comment by UVic education professor Dr. Lorna Williams, a member of the Lil'wat First Nation and UVic's Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Knowledge and Learning, about the dire situation facing Indigenous languages in Canada.
