        LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION POLE – CARVING & CREATION

        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.

        FNEF collaborates with First Nations governments to
        develop language revitalization programs for at-risk
        Indigenous dialects using contemporary educational
        practices and innovative, interactive technology.
        With a language revitalization pilot project already
        underway in partnership with the Yuułu?ił?ath First
        Nation, FNEF wants to raise awareness about the
        state of Aboriginal languages in North America.
        British Columbia will serve as a fitting home for the
        Language Revitalization Pole as within its borders
        exist 34 Indigenous languages, making up over two
        thirds of the Indigenous languages spoken in
        Canada.

        “Oral history, songs, dances, ceremony, and art were
        and continue to be the vehicle for transmitting history,
        knowledge and sovereign rights from generation to
        generation. Through storytelling we are also reminded
        of our family ties to neighbouring tribes and Nations,”
        says Nuu-chah-nulth artist Tim Paul.

        The stories and themes featured on the pole have
        been chosen by the master carver. They honour ten
        relatives of the Nuu-chah-nulth people: sky, sun,
        moon, mountains, rivers, lakes, land, sea, wind and
        stars. There is also an eleventh relative,
        earthquake, which is sent to teach humility and
        remind human beings of the all-encompassing
        power of the Creator.

        “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.”

        Carving the Language Revitalization Pole will not only
        bring attention to the threats facing Indigenous
        languages, but will create content for the language
        pilot project underway in Yuułu?ił?ath community
        dialect. As carving begins, documentary cameras will
        follow the entire process – with footage to later be
        turned into Virtual Reality language lessons on the
        First Nations Education Foundation platform.

        About Filmmaker Dale Devost
        Dale Devost has been behind a camera for over 30
        years. His programs have been broadcast on CBC,
        APTN, and Knowledge Network and he has produced
        numerous documentaries including two projects that
        feature master carver Tim Paul: Dr. George Clutesi
        Curriculum Project and New Moon a Gift for the Spirit.
        Devost has been running his own production company
        out of his home on Hornby Island since 1985, with a
        focus on telling stories of cross-cultural
        understanding, arts, and the environment.

        Les langues autochtones sont importantes pour le développement social, économique et politique, la coexistence pacifique et la réconciliation dans nos sociétés. Pourtant, beaucoup d’entre elles risquent de disparaître. C'est pour cette raison que les Nations Unies ont déclaré 2019 Année des langues autochtones afin d'encourager les actions urgentes visant à les préserver, les revitaliser et les promouvoir.
