Join us for an exciting 6-week journey into Indigenous language and culture! This after-school club welcomes middle school students (grades 6–8) to explore the Ichishkiin language through interactive games, storytelling, and hands-on activities. No prior language experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and willingness to learn. Students will discover greetings, kinship terms, numbers, and land-based vocabulary while building confidence and connecting with the Native heritage. Each 60-minute session is designed to be fun, culturally grounded, and meaningful, with movement, team challenges, and real-world language use. By the end of the program, students will be able to introduce themselves, count to 10, and participate in simple conversations—all while honoring the Native people.
