Creating Online Indigenous Language Courses as Decolonizing Praxis.

This article examines a participatory action research (PAR) project focused on the creation and implementation of online Indigenous language courses as tools for Indigenous language revitalization (ILR). The research involves the NEȾOLṈEW̱ "one mind, one people" Indigenous Language Research Partnership, the non-profit 7000 Languages, and two Indigenous organizations—the Hase' Language Revitalization Society (Kwak̓wala language) and the Prairies to Woodlands Indigenous Language Revitalization Circle (P2WILRC, Southern Michif language). It explores how Indigenous Nations and organizations develop culturally grounded online courses using computer assisted language learning (CALL) platforms, addressing challenges such as data sovereignty, dialectal variation, and limited language resources, while emphasizing Indigenous leadership and relational approaches. The study highlights the importance of community-driven goals, strong partnerships, and ongoing collaboration in creating effective language-learning tools that support intergenerational transmission and cultural reclamation within Indigenous communities.
