Our Living Languages: First Peoples' Voices In B.C.

[Aliana Parker]

Hello ILAT members,



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 *"Our Living Languages*: First
Peoples’ Voices in B.C.".  The exhibition will open on June 21, 2014 --
National Aboriginal Day -- and will run for three years.

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.



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 royalbcmuseum.bc.ca or fpcc.ca
.



Warmly,

Aliana Parker

Language Revitalization Program Specialist
