Yukon First Nation Language Resources
All of us share the responsibility of reconciliation.
Language revitalization is essential in this work because First Nations’ languages are essential to local cultures.
These resources are for all Educators, families, and people who understand their role, responsibilities, and privilege of learning on - and from - these lands.
First Voices is an online space for specific communities to manage and maintain language resources.
Yukon’s Native Language Centre is the primary location for language resources.
Everywhere in Yukon had a name before contact and colonization. Learn and use proper placenames.

The Voices of our Language Holders
Their voices are the heart of our communities. We honour the stories, challenges, and triumphs of our language teachers—their work is vital in keeping Indigenous languages alive and thriving.

“The Framework and Action Plan illustrate how Yukon First Nations are not just crucial partners, but the best suited to govern education on their Traditional Territories.”
- Melissa Flynn, Executive Director, FNSB
On November 1, 2023, the First Nation Education Commission released We Are Our Language, a Framework and Action Plan that guides the revitalization of Yukon First Nations languages within Kindergarten to Grade 12.
The First Nation School Board will lead this work across our 11 Yukon public schools.
