dc.description.abstractThis reflexive masters project was an exploration of learning the first nations language SENĆOŦEN over the span of twenty-two years in formal classes, immersion, and more. The experience was shared from a teaching and indigenous lens of the researcher and language learner using auto ethnographic concepts. Various modes and domains of SENĆOŦEN second-language learning have been highlighted. This work uncovered challenges the researcher discovered in her learning and leads to recommendations and a road map for future SENĆOŦEN second language learners. This reflective project makes use of emotion and lived experience. It showcases ways in which there is room to grow and newfound wisdom to share with other SENĆOTEN language learners. The first section embodies the history of the language and community set the stage for the journey of language learning that has taken place. The second section is about Indigenous research theory. This theory was the foundation of this project, especially the field in Indigenous language revitalization as it relates to the community of WSÁNEĆ and the SENĆOTEN language. The third section made up of several reflections over a span of twenty-two years. Fourth and finally, there is a discussion of challenges presented, findings of this reflexive inquiry which then turned into universal recommendations for other SENĆOŦEN language learners.
