Last month, Anna, Yazmín, and Alexandra from the ELP team had the pleasure of spending some time with the First Peoples' Cultural Council Language Team, during a visit to the amazing SENĆOŦEN immersion program at the ȽÁU, WELṈEW̱ Tribal School (https://wsanecschoolboard.ca/lts/). ⁠
⁠
One of the FPCC Language Team staff is a talented artist, and made an impromptu graphic recording of the ELP presentation. We love how our work is visualized here, and wanted to share! ⁠
⁠
Thank you to our partners at FPCC for visiting with us, and many many thanks to ȽÁU, WELṈEW̱ Tribal School for welcoming us to visit their incredible language immersion program. 🤲🧡⁠
