National Indigenous Languages Day is on March 31. In celebration of this day, come and enjoy this free pop-up exhibit on the Canal Lobby Stage from March 28-April 2! 

Beyond Words: Dictionaries and Indigenous Languages highlights the complex relationship between Indigenous languages and dictionaries over several centuries, from word lists and dictionaries developed for exploration, colonization, conversion and assimilation purposes, to online language materials being developed by Indigenous communities to transmit the elders’ language knowledge to today’s youth. This exhibit is created by the Canadian Languages Museum.

The Museum is located on Glendon College campus of York University in Toronto. Our exhibits have been displayed from coast to coast to coast!
