The First Peoples' Cultural Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable public organization that generates support to raise awareness and funding for Aboriginal language revitalization in British Columbia, Canada.

The First Peoples’ Cultural Foundation (known as the Foundation) is a non-political, non-profit society devoted to the revitalization of First Nations languages, arts and cultures.

The Foundation’s structure and history have shaped its strong connections with grass roots language, arts and culture initiatives. Over its 10-year history, the Foundation has been recognized Canada-wide by both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities and organizations for being an “avante-garde model organization.”

One of the Foundation’s major projects is the online language archive known as FirstVoices.com. Communities in B.C. and across Canada use FirstVoices to record words, phrases, stories and songs in their languages.

The FirstVoices website also includes games for children (at FirstVoiceskids.com), teacher resources and a Language Tutor program to assist teachers, students and parents with language learning.
