Kehkimin - teach me | a film by desmond simon

Lisa Perley-Dutcher and her community of friends, elders, and volunteers are working to save the Wolastoqey language before it disappears. Almost all fluent Wolastoqey speakers are 65 years and older, so we only have a short window of time to involve our fluent speakers in the revitalization of our language. This documentary tells the story of the first-ever Wolastoqey immersion school. The school, located in the traditional territories of the Wolastoqey people (in what is today known as New Brunswick, Canada) provides an opportunity for children and adults to learn and reconnect with their language and ways of life.
