LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION POLE – CARVING & CREATION

Global / / Port Alberni
Ahtsik Native Art Gallery

About This Project First Nations Education Foundation, in recognition of the importance of Indigenous language and culture and the 2019 UN International Year of Indigenous Languages, has commissioned a Language Revitalization totem pole from renowned Nuu-chah-nulth carver, Tim Paul. "When we use our language," Tim Paul explains, "it is not just another way of saying something; the principles of our culture are embedded in the language and many words simply cannot be translated. It is only by understanding our language can we unlock the most important values, principles, and concepts of who we are." For more information about the Pole and language revitalization please visit: www.fnef.ca
