Autumn Cooper of the Stz’uminus First Nation has become fluent in her dying native language in just a year, thanks to support from the First Peoples’ Cultural Council (FPCC), which is receiving $34.75 million for cultural reclamation and revitalization.
At the legislature Tuesday (June 14), Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Minister Murray Rankin announced $25 million for the council over three years to support community-based grants in art, heritage, language revitalization training and technology.
