Language & Culture Program

Making language and culture more accessible for the members of the 11 member Nations we serve.

About the program

The program encourages Knowledge Holders to act as mentors and pass on teachings through storytelling and engaging communities in land-based survival teachings. Our aim is to be a research cultural inventory, including developing and printing books for each CSFS community: History, Genealogy, Stories, Legends, Keyoh and Pictures.

 

Who we serve 

Programs are available to all CSFS member Nations and include services for children and youth, parents, Elders and Knowledge Holders. We work with communities to develop cultural programs under the guidance of Elders, Knowledge Holders, language speakers and teachers, storytellers and artists.
