March is Aboriginal Language Month! As Tåîchô people there are many things we can do together to promote our Tåîchô language and culture. One way to promote our language and culture is by speaking Tåîcho everyday within the workplace, at home, in the community and when and where we meet people.

We appreciate the work that Tåîchô Government staff do to provide services in Tåîchô Traditions, Values and Tåîchô Language to the community, and also to provide information to the people in Tåîchô Yati.  Keep encouraging your staff to promote speaking Tåîchô Language and to celebrate Aboriginal Language Month.  During the month of March, all Tåîchô TCSA staff are encouraged to speak in Tåîchô yati for a minimum of two hours each day.  We challenge your office to do the same.

What are you and your staff be doing to promote Tåîchô language and culture?

Let us all show our pride in being Tåîchô by speaking our language as much as we can. We all have a part to play in preserving our unique Tåîchô language. Be proud and speak Tåîchô today and everyday!
