Funding for the federal government's legislation supporting, protecting and revitalizing Indigenous languages could expire this year, without any extension or renewal of Bill C-91. FPCC CEO, Tracey Herbert, joined @BCAFN Chief, Terry Teegee, on @globalnews to discuss this important issue, emphasizing the need to obtain long-term sustainable funding to support First Nations language revitalization. globalnews.ca/video/10380871…

Last night, I was thrilled to celebrate with @_FPCC and @FPCFoundation along with people from First Nations in B.C. working to revitalize Indigenous languages. For 20 years, #FirstVoices has helped Nations retain, revitalize and share their languages.

We raise our hands to @GordJohns for his advocacy and support in securing long-term sustainable funding for First Nations language revitalization in B.C. First Nations people have a right to their languages. Investing in cultural revitalization is a step toward reconciliation.
Gord Johns@GordJohns

Federal funding for Indigenous language programs must be fair, predictable, sustained & long-term. Revival of language is essential to reconciliation. Allocation of federal @CdnHeritage funding must reflect high concentration of languages in B.C. @_FPCC bitly.ws/3cmAN
