Background

  • We are expanding our Blackfoot language curriculum as part of our commitment to develop degree and diploma programs in the Blackfoot language in response to TRC Call to Action 16. A key aspect of this new curriculum is the creation of adult immersion programming to complement the existing classbased language courses. The immersion programming will follow the general principles of the successful Master/Mentor-Apprentice Program approach. The MAP approach pairs a more fluent speaker (the Master/Mentor speaker) with a less fluent speaker (the Apprentice) for intensive oneonone language work focussed on oral fluency in natural settings and daily activities in the community.
