Nkwusm - Salish Language Immersion School 2003-2004

It's amazing that Salishian languages are being revived. Salishian languages have been a victim of so called linguicide. Right now these languages are being revived and that's a wonderul thing.I think that language carries certain cultural values so if you save the language you save the values it carries. Keep up the work!

These children are lucky this isn't 40 years ago: they would be put into a residential school.

I love this! I am part salish, and I wish I can learn the language. I can ask my uncle Alec. After watching this I was thinking about my auntie Sophie "Supi"

Don't Navajos have two immersion schools already? Rough Rock and another trilingual one.

This is awesome. There are not many things that are more important than preserving culture. It is great to see the little blond girl in the video. She represents the idea that all people who live in an area should acknowledge and learn in the indigenous culture and language.

[kmj2000]

She's probably Salish too.
