About this event
Beyond Words: Dictionaries and Indigenous Languages is a travelling exhibit from the Canadian Language Museum. The exhibit highlights the complex relationship between Indigenous languages and dictionaries over several centuries, from word lists and dictionaries developed for exploration, colonization, conversion and assimilation purposes, to online language materials being developed by Indigenous communities to transmit the elders’ language knowledge to today’s youth.
