Oki language project
THE ROOTS OF WHO WE ARE IS in the
language we speak
Our vision
To create thriving and proud Indigenous communities for future generations by focusing on our history, language and culture.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
language defines the culture & identity of a people. each word a repository of stories containing ancient knowledge and meaning.
Oki Language Project will collect an audio and video library of Indigenous language greetings of Turtle Island and share Elders’ stories about the meaningful act of welcoming another human being. accessible to all, these stories will honour the original peoples of the lands we occupy and visit today.
“The word ‘hello’ is not just a greeting to us, but represents a unique and diverse world view of a people. We will travel across Turtle Island to capture every tribe’s ‘hello’ through the sharing of Elder stories before this knowledge disappears forever.”
- Founder, Eugene Brave Rock
