At Haida Roots we are committed to preserving the Haida language & culture for future generations.
Our mission is to provide Haida arts, culture and language through programs and opportunities created by Haida Roots.
Along with keeping our ancient cultural ways alive, we support the creative evolution of new Indigenous music, art and books.
FLUENT SPEAKER MENTOR PROGRAM
We can count our fluent speakers on one hand. Because of this, we are constantly working towards finding ways to stay connected to our precious elders and learn from them. We keep this goal in mind: 2nd language learners will speak our ancient tongue & will nurture new generations of 1st language Haida speakers.
ALWAYS IMMERSED IN OUR CULTURE
At Haida Roots, we keep our ancestral ways alive through strong community ties, creating language learning opportunities, curriculum & literary development, song & dance practice, storytelling, art & traditional regalia making & more.
