yes! we are delivering 12 hours a week which is 550 hours this year. of quality curriculum based immersion. we only have this flexibility because we are a non profit not associated with institutions. one day the institutions will follow.

In my field so I looked. I will be happy when postings list, “proven results and commitment to creating fluency” rather than, “language is an additional asset.” ha anx̌mín̓k n̓qilxʷčn ksƛ̓lmíxaʔx? #isthisreconciliation #wecadobetter

When you’re a learner, don’t get caught up on that one word you don’t know, speak the 99 that you do know! The daily lived courage of language revitalization.

kiwa 100% the key word is “in” the Indigenous language. Immersion following scaffolded curriculum 1,000+ hours. Many institutions deliver programs in English “about” or “of” the language rather than “in” the language. #wecandobetter #adultfluency

Another posting where the applicant is not expected to have expertise learning or teaching an Indigenous language. I see a pattern here!

There are “misses” in the pretendian hunting movement. While you hear about the successes in the media, you don’t hear about those whose lives have been upended by being wrongly targeted. 🧵1/14
