Grant Overview
Alberta's Indigenous Language Preservation initiative is designed to support the development of language programs and resources for at-risk Indigenous languages. The program's primary focus is on compliance with the province's Indigenous Language Protection Act, which requires language programs to be culturally immersive and community-led. Alberta has 9 Indigenous language groups, each with its own distinct language and cultural practices.
To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate compliance with the Act's requirements, including community engagement and cultural immersion. The application process will require detailed language program plans, including budgets and timelines. Alberta's Indigenous Language Protection Act is unique in Canada, and the grant program is designed to support compliance with this legislation.
The grant program will prioritize language programs that target at-risk youth and community language learners. Alberta's Indigenous youth are disproportionately represented in the province's youth population, making language preservation a critical issue. The program will also support language documentation efforts, recognizing the importance of preserving Indigenous languages for future generations.
Alberta's geography presents unique challenges for language preservation, with many Indigenous communities located in rural or remote areas. The grant program will take into account these challenges, providing additional support for language programs that serve these communities. Unlike neighboring British Columbia, Alberta's grant program is specifically designed to support compliance with the Indigenous Language Protection Act, making it a unique opportunity for Indigenous language preservation in the province.
The program's risk management framework will prioritize cultural sensitivity and community-led decision-making, ensuring that language programs are developed in a way that respects Indigenous cultural practices and protocols.
