Northern Village of Beauval

Revitalizing Culture and Language, Saskatchewan


The Northern Village of Beauval, led by a fully Indigenous leadership team, is dedicated to preserving its cultural heritage and promoting language revitalization through the Culture, Language and Sport Project. This initiative focuses on residential and intergenerational survivors, fostering community and a strong sense of identity among the village's 685 residents, which include Métis and members of the Canoe Lake First Nation. The project prioritizes inclusivity, encouraging all community members, including Elders, to engage in cultural and language activities.

Through workshops and learning activities with traditional knowledge keepers, the project ensures the preservation of Indigenous languages and customs. Recognizing the lasting effects of residential schools, it aims to rebuild family connections and instill pride in cultural identity. Participants will engage in practices like hunting, fishing, cooking, and berry picking, fostering a deep connection to their heritage.

The FG Foundation has been instrumental in enabling the Culture, Language and Sport Project to thrive, ensuring the continued revitalization of the community's cultural traditions for future generations.
