Learn Ditidaht

The Ditidaht Language & Culture program is part of the Ditidaht Community School located on-reserve at Nitinaht Lake, BC. The program delivers K-12 language instruction and programming for adults and others in the community. Many Ditidaht members live away from the community, however, so the Online Learning Project is being developed to ensure that all Ditidaht members can access learning opportunities for their rich and unique language in a convenient and engaging way.

The online classroom was created in 2018 by a team of determined elders, teachers, linguists, and community members. At present, there are only half-a-dozen fluent speakers of Ditidaht, all of whom are in their 70s and 80s. The website is thus an act of language revitalization.
