<p class="MsoNormal">Hello ILAT members,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">You may have seen Phil’s post from a few days ago about the
new language exhibition at the Royal BC Museum. On behalf of the First People’s
Cultural Council (FPCC), I am very pleased to announce the upcoming opening of
this exhibition.  FPCC has partnered with the Royal BC Museum to deliver a
remarkable new language exhibition entitled <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">"Our Living Languages</span></em>: First Peoples’
Voices in B.C.".  The exhibition will open on June 21, 2014 --
National Aboriginal Day -- and will run for three years.<br>
<br>
FPCC worked with community partners across the province to develop the content
for this exhibition. Rich in interactive content and features, the exhibition
showcases the diversity of the 34 First Nations languages in British Columbia
and celebrates the communities and individuals who are working hard to ensure
these languages continue to be vital. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">By telling this important story, we can better support,
enhance and encourage these efforts by increasing understanding of the
complexities of language revitalization. To learn more, visit <a href="http://royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/">royalbcmuseum.bc.ca</a> or <a href="http://fpcc.ca/">fpcc.ca</a>.</p>
