Jared Deck is on the front lines of efforts to save endangered First
Nations languages in B.C. Through his work at the Sto:lo Nation, he’s
involved with FirstVoices, a project of the First Peoples’ Heritage,
Language and Culture Council that’s using Internet technology to help
preserve and revitalize indigenous languages.

A 34-year-old member of the Tzeachten First Nation who lives in Chilliwack,
Deck has worked at the Sto:lo Shxweli Halq’eméylem Language Program for
nine years. This past March, the program finished developing nine new
Halq’eméylem lessons for the FirstVoices Tutor language-lessons application.
