Gitanmaax Language Nest

The vision of our Language Nest is that all children and adults attending will become fluent speakers of the Gitksan language; that culturally relevant materials and programming will be provided for all our children; and that the program will provide a healthy and safe environment for all our children between the ages of 0 to 4 years of age.

Our center and community will aim to guide parents and students’ learning in a way that includes our language, culture and traditions.  Our educational program will give our students the tools to understand themselves and the world around them and enable them to live independent lives.
