Grant Overview

Alberta's Indigenous communities are rich in linguistic diversity, with over 40 different Indigenous languages spoken across the province. However, many of these languages are considered endangered, with some having fewer than 100 fluent speakers. To address this challenge, Alberta is investing in digital language learning platforms for Indigenous communities. Who Should Apply in Alberta? Nonprofit organizations and community groups working with Indigenous communities are eligible to apply. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate experience working with Indigenous language experts and Elders, and have a clear plan for developing culturally sensitive language learning resources. The application requires a detailed project plan, letters of support from local Indigenous communities, and a description of how the platform will be maintained and updated over time. Alberta's Rural-Urban Split: The province has a mix of rural and urban communities, with many Indigenous communities located in rural areas. Unlike neighboring British Columbia, Alberta has a more established network of Indigenous language preservation organizations, which can be leveraged by applicants to support their programs. Key considerations for applicants include understanding the state's Indigenous languages and cultures, familiarity with rural Alberta's challenges, and a demonstrated ability to work with local stakeholders. Alberta's Ministry of Indigenous Relations provides resources and support for Indigenous language preservation, which can be used to inform program development. The province's Indigenous Language Preservation Strategy also provides guidance on best practices for language preservation, which can be used to inform program design. By developing digital language learning platforms, Alberta can help preserve its Indigenous linguistic heritage and promote cultural diversity.
