EMES school offers Tłįchǫ language in kindergarten

CBC Story - September 02, 2012 - For the first time in almost 20 years, kindergarten classes in Behchoko, N.W.T., are being offered entirely in Tlicho Yati, the language of the Tlicho First Nation people.

It’s a move parents hope will help connect their children with their culture.

Almost 30 children are enrolled in the immersion kindergarten, more than double what was expected.
