WHAT’S INSIGHT

T Indigenous languages matter for sustainable development, peace building and reconciliation. —United Nations
hrough our travelling exhibition program we are able to reach all corners of the province. In 2019 we developed a travelling version of Our Living Languages: First Peoples’ Voices in BC to commemorate the UN’s International Year of Indigenous Languages. Since its completion, the exhibition has travelled to more than 20 regional museums and interpretive centres across BC and has had an audience of over 30,000. This important exhibition teaches visitors about the diversity of Indigenous languages and highlights what First Nations communities throughout the province are doing to help 34 different languages survive and flourish. Since 2014 Vancity has supported the original on-site exhibition, and in 2019 their support expanded to include the travelling exhibition. We are grateful for their support in enabling us to share this exhibition on the important work being done by First Nations communities on language reclamation. Check out your community calendars for Our Living Languages touring throughout BC in the coming years.
