Abstract
The !SÁNEĆ School Board located on the Saanich Peninsula of southern Vancouver Island currently houses the SENĆOŦEN department, which includes the SȾÁSEN TŦE SENĆOŦEN apprenticeship program. SȾÁSEN TŦE SENĆOŦEN is the focus of this paper and is shared through an auto-ethnographical lens as a SENĆOŦEN apprentice and language learner. Each !SÁNEĆ logo is one of the language revitalization initiatives currently run by the SENĆOŦEN department. This is an auto- ethnographic account of my SENĆOŦEN journey and how my involvement with SȾÁSEN TŦE SENĆOŦEN apprenticeship enabled me to teach in an immersion setting, thereby transforming my life.
