Speaking Place

Tonight at 6! See you soon.

Do you miss having someone to speak the language with? Do you know an elder that does? Our language was never meant to sit quietly. It was meant to be used. Let’s bring it back into daily life.

Ktahtolwehkan “Always use it.”

A space to speak, practice, and reconnect with each other. Invite an elder, a friend and let’s talk over Sunday morning coffee.

Fluent speakers. Learners. Community. Fun conversations. No pressure.

*New day & time* Wednesday evenings on ZOOM | 6-7 PM

*We are also looking for volunteers to hop on and tell stories, sing songs and lead fun conversations in our language. If interested please email [email protected]*

✨Our languages are cultural instruction.

They teach us how to live. How to relate. How to carry ourselves with respect, responsibility, and care. Every word holds guidance, not just on what to say, but on how to be.

This is more than language.
This is knowledge in motion.
