Sto:lo language in the classroom

The movement to help save the dying Halq'eméylem language spoken by just a
handful of Sto:lo elders got another boost recently with a Ministry of
Education announcement that Halq'eméylem is now a provincially approved second
language curriculum.

First Nations language curriculum development is led by school districts and
local First Nations with the same process as other language courses such as
German or Mandarin, according to the ministry.

Minister Shirley Bond announced the Halq'eméylem language integrated resource
package has been developed as a curriculum for Grades 5 to 12 by Seabird Island
Community School in partnership with the Coqualeetza, Seabird, Chehalis and
Sto:lo Shxweli First Nations and the Chilliwack and Gold Trail school
districts.
