Summary

A groundbreaking project is bringing beloved Canadian children’s stories to life in Indigenous Yukon languages—translating 20 Robert Munsch classics into Kaska, Tlingit, Southern Tutchone, and Northern Tutchone, with nearly $300,000 in territorial funding. Working closely with First Nations partners, the Yukon Native Language Centre is preserving endangered languages like Tlingit through oral recordings and transcription, while empowering kids to connect with their heritage through familiar tales. Set for release in fall daycares and schools, this initiative proves how storytelling can revive language, strengthen identity, and bridge generations.
