At Haida Roots, we are working night and day to breathe life into our Haida language. We accomplish this goal through creating classrooms, videos and books for children. We have shared our creations freely in the community and have many more in the works.
Your kind donation will provide youth and elders stipends, help host online youth vocal/singing classes and help community members attend ongoing language courses offered through University of Alaska SE. Funds will also be used to help keep our canoe afloat by covering costs for internet, websites and digital book platforms and to print & disperse books and curriculum to our Haida language schools, programs and community partners.
Please check out some of our creations:
Making space for "Haida people teaching and creating Haida things."
Haida Roots began doing this work to bring joy to our hurting community. We found that reconnecting to our Xaad kíl brings faster healing. It brings back that sense of belonging, that every human desires. Oxitocin rises when we sing our songs.
