Heaven Solomon, a Wolastoqey language educator from Neqotkuk, is part of a growing movement to revitalize the Wolastoqey language amid alarming declines in fluent speakers. Featured in this CBC article, she highlights the urgency of language reclamation, particularly in light of recent census data showing a drop in Indigenous language speakers. Through education, community programs, and her own lived experience, Solomon is helping lead efforts to restore the language as a vital part of cultural identity and everyday life.
