Kwi Awt Stelmexw is governed by registered members who bi-annually elect a volunteer Board of Directors who implement the organization’s vision and purpose. Kwi Awt Stelmexw is a community-based organization of the Squamish Peoples whose purpose is to “strengthen all aspects of Squamish heritage, language, culture, and art”.

Program Description

The Temstl’i7 ta Snichim Program is a two-year Squamish language immersion program for adults. It is taught by one instructors for 30 hours/week, and typically operates over four university semesters (two semesters per year - September to December, and January to April). Participants of the program will complete 960 contact hours of language instruction each year, primarily taught exclusively in the Squamish Language. The program, in partnership with Simon Fraser University’s First Nations Language Centre and the Department of Linguistics*, offers students a First Nations Language Proficiency Certificate from the university after completing four semesters of the program (Year 1 and Year 2). Temstl’i7 ta Snichim occurs annually with new cohorts of Year 1 students admitted each year. Currently, applications are only open for Year 1 programming, with plans to launch the Year 2 program in 2019-2020. *subject to funding.

Program Objectives The long-term objective of the Temstl’i7 ta Snichim Program is to contribute to the successful revitalization of the Squamish Language by providing participants with the opportunity to become fluent speakers with the ability to pass the language on to future generations. The objectives for Year 1 of the program are:

● Increase proficiency and fluency in the Squamish Language among participants, from complete beginner to high intermediate levels.

● Provide participants with a deeper understanding of, and connection to, Squamish culture and heritage through the language.

● Provide participants with an opportunity to begin or continue post-secondary education and receive an accredited Certificate.

● Demonstrate the effectiveness of specific immersion methods in the revitalization of threatened languages, sharing evidence and lessons learned with others engaged in Indigenous language education.

2


Specific language objectives for Year 1 include that participants will be able to:

● Converse with fluent speakers on a number of subjects involving common situations and events (for example, describing family and friends, physical appearance, community, mental state, aches and pains, location, age, children, marital situation, personal possessions, and the weather)

● Describe people and objects, where and how they are located, their ownership, colour, and number.

● Talk about all these situations in the past, present, and future. ● Name common local, regional, and world place names. ● Reach an advanced-low to advanced-high level on the ACTFL

proficiency scale.

Eligibility (Note that meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee that you will be selected for the 2017-2018 adult immersion program. We encourage those who are not selected for the current year to apply again in following years.) It is strongly recommended that potential applicants speak to the Programming Director to confirm their eligibility before submitting their application.

Eligibility Requirements

Applicants to this program must be Indigenous or parenting (or potentially parenting) children with Indigenous ancestry. Priority will be given to those with Squamish ancestry. Applicants do not need to be members of the Squamish Nation to apply.

Kwi Awt Stelmexw defines Indigenous peoples as the original peoples, or descendants of the original peoples, of North America and elsewhere who have been impacted by settler-colonial conquest and empire. This can include status or non-status Indians. Priority will be given to those under the age of 50, although exceptions will be made in special circumstances.

Applicants must show a commitment to the Squamish language. The applicant must show that they understand the objectives of the program, and are willing to commit to full-time language study for the full duration of the program. Students apply directly to Simon Fraser University, and their participation will be subject to SFU’s admission requirements.

Ineligible applicants

● Those with incomplete applications.

3


● Non-Indigenous applicants who are not currently parenting, or going to be parenting, children with Indigenous ancestry (particularly Coast Salish ancestry).

Funding For First Nations students to receive monthly living allowances from their Nation while participating in the program, they must often be registered in a full-time program at a recognized university. This program will be a full-time program with four courses per semester, and accredited through Simon Fraser University. Students chosen to be in the adult immersion program will be registered as full-time students with Simon Fraser University. Many First Nations have post-secondary funding programs that provide living allowances and tuition fees to full-time students. It is highly

recommended that applicants contact the Education Coordinator for Post Secondary Students at their First Nation or First Nation organization about funding requirements, policies, and deadlines. Participants of the program will be required to have the tuition fees covered by their First Nation, or pay the fees themselves. Funding application deadlines for each First Nation will vary. There are also many scholarships that selected students may be eligible to apply for through their First Nation or other entities. Kwi Awt Stelmexw is also creating its own scholarship fund to support students who are unable to pay the tuition fees. More details to be released in the coming months.
