Creating a New Generation of Speakers!
The Ahkwesãhsne Mohawk Board of Education is proud to support the revitalization of our Kanienkeha Language. We have a vision that all students have an opportunity to learn and communicate in our native language, and that they can do so in an innovative and engaging manner.
Blending our historic language with modern technology, we are pleased to provide our students with the Kanienkeha Language Learning Links online platform where they can hear stories being read, practice speaking Kanienkeha and play games to reinforce their learning. With a few taps on their tablets, students can now hear the language of their elders, with Mohawk characters and illustrations by local artists bringing this all to life.
This is a resource that will continue to be developed for K-8 learners over the next 5 years. It is also useful to beginner adult speakers or those wishing to share their ancestral language with their children and grandchildren.
The Kanienkeha Language Learning Links is a resource that completes the Kanienkeha curriculum series of resources available to teachers in our schools. With a 5 year strategic plan launching in 2019, and Kanienkeha language and Mohawk culture identified as one of top priorities, we are excited and optimistic that we are on track to supporting our teachers as they guide our students to become Kanienkeha speakers again!
