Beyond Words: Dictionaries and Indigenous Languages highlights the complex relationship between Indigenous languages and dictionaries over several centuries, from word lists and dictionaries developed for exploration, colonization, conversion and assimilation purposes, to online language materials being developed by Indigenous communities to transmit the elders’ language knowledge to today’s youth.
On display at the Canadian Language Museum Thursday, September 19, 2019 to Wednesday, October 23, 2019. Afterwards it will travel across Canada.
