The c̓išaaʔatḥ Language Program launched in June 2019 and has grown out of and continued to build upon the wealth of language resources created by previous Tseshaht language projects and champions.

Since 2019, the team has been documenting our fluent speakers and making this language available on our FirstVoices site. We have also been developing resources, creating a curriculum, and implementing an intensive program for adults with the aim to create speakers and teachers of our language.

The two main focuses of our program are the Adult Intensive Program launched in 2020 and the continued documentation of fluent speakers shared on our FirstVoices portal.

We acknowledge all the hard work and all the people that created such a strong foundation for our community to move forward towards our language vision. We have many language resources including audio recordings, videos, books, FirstVoices that are essential to all the work and success of our program.
