Hall filled as Haida language program celebrates ten years

The community hall in Skidegate was filled to bursting Thursday evening, as the
Skidegate Haida language program celebrated its tenth anniversary.

At the head table sat about a dozen fluent speakers of Haida, many who had
learned it as their first language. The hall itself was filled with SHIP
students, teachers, family and well-wishers, all out to honour the elders,
congratulate the students and celebrate ten years of Haida language revival in
a program that originally was to last ten days.
