Kwak’wala First Voices
“Welcome to the language culture of the Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw First Nations. We are the Kwak̓wala-speaking people on the north east coast of Vancouver Island and the adjacent mainland coast of British Columbia. The mandate of the U’mista Cultural Centre is to ensure the survival of the cultural heritage of the Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw First Nations. Working with FirstVoices enables us to maintain our language to preserve our culture for future generations to come. Our language is our culture.
Come join us to learn Kwak̓wala with our stories, songs and games! Our ancestors have taught us well, our stories and songs are full of life and sure to capture your imagination. Come have fun with us.
The Kwak̓wala app is a media-rich bilingual dictionary and phrase collection comprised of words and phrases archived at the online Aboriginal language database FirstVoices.com.” https://www.firstvoices.com/explore/FV/sections/Data/Kwak’wala/Kwak%CC%93wala/Kwak%CC%93wala
