We invite you to join us for this introductory Nêhiyawêwin  (Plains Cree Language) Course.

This course is open to everyone - both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants who wish to learn to uplift language revitalization. The geographic regions that this course would be most applicable for are Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and Montana.

We offer this language learning opportunity as a partnership between Natural Curiosity and the social charitable enterprise The Outdoor Learning Store. We know that Indigenous knowledge and perspectives are foundational to outdoor learning and learning from the Land, and learning language of the local Land is a critical part of deepening knowledge and understanding.
