Aboriginal language slipping away in Fort St John area
Trevor Herle and local leaders warn Cree and Beaver languages face erosion as census data show only about 205 people in the Fort St John area know an Aboriginal language and just 0.7 percent use it at home. Elders fade, youth focus on the oil patch, and programs struggle for government support amid data gaps and definitional confusion.
