Students will learn basic conversation, structure, and pronunciation in a Kwak’wala language immersion setting with a focus on listening and speaking.

Combined, these encompass the way of life of the Kwakwaka’wakw and give insight to how Kwak’wala is essential to who the Kwakwaka’wakw are and how Kwak’wala ties Kwakwaka’wakw to land, sea and place.
