| dc.description.abstract | This project outlines the research and development of creating 6 SENĆOŦEN songs for the purpose of helping W̱SÁNEĆ peoples learn language on traditional homelands and re-establish relationship to language and land. Developing songs cultivated for teaching speech acts and basic sentence structure as well as establishing spiritual connection to language and land can create a more wholistic and decolonial way of language learning outside of an educational institution. W̱ÁLḴEN EṮ W̱SÁNEĆ is intended to bring our teachings back to our homeland for the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples’ and create speakers inside and outside of community who are W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. The songs developed will be used for on the land language learning for W̱SÁNEĆ peoples between the ages of 20-55 to mend the gap that has occurred in this age group due to language loss from colonization of Indigenous peoples’ in Canada. | |
