Can the ‘wired teepee’ help save the Ktunaxa language in the Kootenays? The hub of the Ktunaxa language revitalization technology- based projects is the former residential school, St. Eugene Mission. “From within these walls our language was taken away. Within these walls our language will be returned”. The community is doing a number of things to preserve and share a language that has only twenty-four remaining speakers.: the First Voices project, a seven-million-dollar fibre optics network, recording a great aunt’s words for a virtual language curriculum, and digitizing old language tapes. The Ktunaxa language is unrelated to any other. Language is a feeling of community and identity.
