Academic Programs
The Indigenous Languages Program (INLP) works with First Nations speech communities and organizations to enable Indigenous language learning off-campus in First Nations languages communities. Since 1993 and in partnership with First Nations organizations, we have offered courses in more than 18 languages in British Columbia and the Yukon. Please contact inlpadv@sfu.ca if your Indigenous language community is potentially interested in partnering with our program.
