Welcome to our Dakelh/Carrier language page. Check here for a new Dakelh/Carrier word added every week.
Our school would like to welcome back Edie Frederick as our language teacher. This year our focus will be on the Lheidli dialect. Some of our teachers and students may still use the Nak'azdli dialect for words that they remember from the previous years of instruction; however, all school communication will use the Lheidli language.
I have kept the link to the First Voices homepage and it will connect you to the site where you will be able to choose other languages. First Voices is an excellent site which is full of resources, pronunciation guides, and games. For pronunciations of the words of the week, please use the Lheidli Dictionary by clicking the link below.
I have also included a link to a map that has all the Dakelh place names for the local area.
