Email: DILLL"No culture will survive without the retention of its language." The goal of the First Nations University of Canada’s Department of Indian Languages, Literatures and Linguistics is to strengthen the First Nations’ identity by ensuring the survival of the languages of Saskatchewan’s First Nations. We work to instil in students a sense of pride in the knowledge and use of First Nations’ languages. The department offers classes in Language programs Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota, Dakota and Dene. The introductory courses teach conversational fluency and an awareness of how each language works. More advanced classes explore structure, writing systems, literatures, principles of translation, expository and creative writing and oral traditions and include directed studies. The department also offers an linguistics program. Linguistics is the scientific study of all forms of human language. It is a search for the patterns of sound, word-form, phrase structure and meanings that underlie the languages we use. While we offer most of our language and linguistics classes at our Regina campus, we offer Cree and Saulteaux classes at our Saskatoon campus and Dene (Chipewyan) classes at our Northern campus.
