Indigenous language curricula

Indigenous language curricula are educational programs designed to teach and preserve the native languages of Indigenous peoples. They focus on developing language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—while also incorporating cultural teachings and traditions. These curricula aim to revitalize languages that may be endangered or at risk of fading, fostering cultural identity and connection to heritage. They are often integrated into school systems or community programs to ensure the transmission of linguistic and cultural knowledge across generations, promoting respect for Indigenous ways of knowing and supporting language sustainability.
