The Nisga'a Language Fluency Diploma provides an immersive education in the Nisga'a language, and is intended to create new Nisga'a language speakers. The fundamental pedagogical approach is to offer as much Nisga'a language instruction as possible, as early as possible. The program is offered in a manner that recognizes that learners, knowledge keepers, and their communities as a whole benefit from, and contribute to, the (re)development of Nisga'a language fluency.
In terms of goals and objectives, the program is designed to increase significantly the number of Nisga’a language speakers, and to prepare them for employment, particularly in the fields of education and a variety of Nisga’a organizations.
