Justice for First Nation Language
First Nation members of their community should be allowed to speak their language as the language is becoming a risk of extinction. Employees have the right to speak their language without the fear of termination or risk of employment.
Legal fees
All donations will go to assist with legal fees for First Nations to speak their language while working on the job site.
Reason this is important to us all
The Residential school was created to assimilate the First Nation people into the Canadian society, forcing First Nation members to forget their language, outlawing their language and culture. Which has resulted in a disfunctional society; low education rates, high umployment rates and high sucide rate... This has made First Nation members feel that there is no trust to work with non-First Nation members because they are being treated like Residentail school practices on the workplace.
Diversity and Authenticity is important because it creates healthy societies, by making the unknown familiar and pushing members of the society to know about their neighbours rather than being scared of their practices and affraid of their language.
Let's reconcille and keep the First Nation language alive by supporting language spoken on the community of the First Nation work place.
Stoney is the language spoken as a first language on the
Stoney Nakoda First Nation and is one of few communities that speak their language. English is the seconad language. However, the language is dying out and the community is making effort to save the language through technology but that is not enough when you are not allowed to speak your language at work which is on your community.
Working in your own community shouldnt be a choice of being employed or saving your language.
Help us
keep First Nation Language alive
by donating to our cause and fight to save
our language and employment.

These are the languages that the Creator put down on the land and my friend and I did not feel that our languages feel someplace less than second-best.

Language is the means through which we communicate our culture. If, as First Nations people, we want to retain our identities and transmit our values and our cultural practices to future generations then we must do whatever we can to keep our languages alive.
University Calgary Interview Greg Twoyoungman
He fears the language is slipping away. "It makes you sad," laments the grandfather of 14 children. "We have to find a way of how we can bring an awareness to the young people--of how important our language is."
