From the website:聽Welcome to the language culture of the Kwakwa瘫ka瘫'wakw First Nations. We are the Kwak虛wala-speaking people on the north east coast of Vancouver Island and the adjacent mainland coast of British Columbia. The mandate of the U'mista Cultural Centre is to ensure the survival of the cultural heritage of the Kwakwa瘫ka瘫'wakw First Nations. Working with FirstVoices enables us to maintain our language to preserve our culture for future generations to come. Our language is our culture.
From the website:聽This site is dedicated to the Kwak虝wala language. Alternately known as bak虛wa瘫mk虛ala or by one of its five dialects (Kwak虛wala, 鈥橬ak虛wala, G瘫ut虝sala, T虛艂at虛艂asik虛wala, and Liq虛史ala), it is spoken by the people we now call the Kwakwa瘫ka瘫鈥檞akw from northern Vancouver Island and the adjoining mainland. Like many aboriginal languages, Kwak虝wala is endangered and only has about 200 fluent speakers left.
