Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we’re reflecting on the deep and enduring relationships between Indigenous Peoples, language, and the ocean.
In this video, we’re sharing a few Kwak̓wala words for sea creatures, using language resources from FirstVoices.

We encourage you to explore these resources and continue learning about Kwak̓wala language, culture, and the longstanding connections to the waters of this region.
