Cree Language Studies

The goal of the Indian Languages and Linguistics Programs at the First Nations University of Canada is to strengthen First Nations identity by ensuring the survival of the languages of Saskatchewan's First Nations. Faculty and sessional lecturers work toward promoting a sense of pride in the knowledge and use of First Nations languages. Language courses explore conversational fluency, structure, writing systems, literatures, principles of translation, and oral traditions. Linguistics provides the tools to study and talk about language as part of a comprehensive program designed to assist students in following their passion. Our programs aim to instill in students a sense of pride in the knowledge and use of Indigenous languages. Introductory courses include language lab activities. Some courses are also available for online delivery.
