Position Summary
Delivered in partnership between Ahousaht First Nation and North Island College, this program is grounded in Nuu-chah-nulth values, including respect, protocol, accountability, and community.

ILF 125 – Nuu-chah-nulth Immersion 5 (Classes Jan. 5 to Feb. 16, 2027)
Intensive Nuu-chah-nulth language instruction will draw on local Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing and being in an Indigenous language immersion setting at an intermediate level that builds on ILF 124. The units will draw on a wide variety of culturally relevant activities conducted through the lens of language to explore the essential relationship between Nuu-chah-nulth and identity, place (including land and sea), wellness, and roles and responsibilities.

Students will build oral and aural skills through experiential activities that are the foundation for place-based, culturally infused learning. This course will provide students with language learning strategies and comprehensible language acquisition methods advantageous for Indigenous language acquisition that will be applied during the intensive, immersive, place-based second term. Program is following current trends in Indigenous language revitalization, which calls for intensive, immersion programming 5 days a week to lead to fluency.
