Here are some additional resources and supports available through FPCC. This list will continue to grow as we add more resources.
FPCC’s Language Revitalization Planning Program
The Language Revitalization Planning Program supports First Nations communities in B.C. to develop comprehensive, long-term plans for revitalizing and strengthening their languages. These plans are a way to capture the community’s vision for their language and map out the work for language revitalization into the future. The planning process also helps to build community awareness around language.
The Language Revitalization Planning Program includes peer-to-peer sharing through virtual gatherings and one-on-one coaching support from FPCC as well as helpful resources and templates.
A Guide to Language Policy and Planning for B.C. First Nations Communities
This all-in-one guide to language planning and policy development is relevant for community members, language planning teams (language authorities), educators, First Nations leadership, and policy makers. The guide lays the foundation for community-based language revitalization efforts, from surveying speakers to developing a community language plan and implementing language policies and programs. It is packed with useful information, resource lists and templates for community use.
