The First Peoples' Cultural Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that generates support to raise awareness and funding for the revitalization of Aboriginal language and arts.

The need for funds to assist with language revitalization is great.

According to the 2010 Report on the Status of B.C. First Nations languages in B.C. released by the First Peoples' Heritage, Language and Culture Council:
  • Fluent First Nations language speakers make up a small and shrinking minority of the B.C. First Nations population
  • 8 languages are severely endangered and 22 are nearly extinct
  • Most fluent speakers are over the age of 65
  • The majority of classroom teaching is insufficient to create enough new fluent speakers to revitalize languages
It's time to act now for B.C.'s First Nations languages!
