Local aboriginal youth now will be able to earn high school credits for
studies in their own heritage languages.

The Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board is partnering
with Gai hon nya ni (They are learning): Amos Key Jr. E-Learning Institute
to offer online courses through the board's Continuing Education Services.

The courses, offered in Mohawk, Cayuga, Ojibwe and Oneida, will begin on
Oct. 15 for those aged 15 to 30.

"Languages are who we are as people," said Audra Maloney, executive
director at the Amos Key Jr. E-Learning Institute. "It is important for
young people to reconnect back to their culture and communities."
