What we focus on

Our Services

Since 1985, ILM has remained a key player in the preservation of Indigenous languages and revitalizing the oral histories, promoting the importance of daily language use, and continuing the Traditions and Sacred Teachings of our Elders and Knowledge Keepers

Lasting Impact

We are committed to maintaining the interconnectedness of culture and language, which have been severely impacted by the Indian Act, Residential Schools, colonialism, and intergenerational trauma. The importance of preserving and promoting these languages is key to strengthening a sense of identity and belonging in everyday life.

Events

Strengthening the foundational values of our people and ensuring our activities and services fulfill our mandate, respect the traditional teachings of Elders while upholding the promise to build partnerships and connections within the communities.
