A full language immersion program can effectively save a dying language.  We visit the Shuswap Nation in BC’s interior to see one of Canada’s more successful immersion programs.  Here how a Nursery Program grew to become a high school.  We will also look at two influential people who have worked hard studying, writing and teaching the language, and learn about their struggles in trying to express the importance of language to their own children. Background: The Secwepemc Nation is located in South-Central British Columbia; they are among the leading groups of language preservation.
