Published purpose
Williams Lake First Nation (WLFN) is in the process of cataloging and digitizing Traditional Knowledge from Elders within the community. Interviews conducted with Elders gather both Traditional Knowledge and Secwepemc language so that the cultural heritage can be digitized, stored and transferred to future generations. One of the long-term priorities of WLFN is to expand the Little Chiefs Primary School, currently grades kindergarten-grade 4 to K-12 and use the Traditional Knowledge and language gathered from Elders to inform a language immersion curriculum, ultimately maintaining the Secwepemc culture and language for future generations of the WLFN community.
