​Living Our Indigenous Languages in a Multimedia Technology Enhanced World

Sty-Wet-Tan, First Nations Longhouse, University of British Columbia

This exciting event brought together over 175  language advocates, community members, policy makers, educators, practitioners, scholars, and students who are interested in reclaiming and revitalizing Indigenous languages, many of which are endangered. Senior high school students, faculty, and administrators from Kanuikapono Charter School (Kauaʻi) were featured presenters. Participants learned firsthand from language speakers and learners about their personal and professional experiences, participate in workshops, engage in hands-on training, and learn best practices in using multimedia technology to support Indigenous language revitalization efforts.
