After 40 years' of work, Dr. Timothy Montler can finally share the results of his work with the elders of W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations on Vancouver Island's Saanich Peninsula to preserve the SENĆOŦEN language in a just-released dictionary.

Read the story at the CBC site and the Peninsula News Review, where you can also hear one of the elders talk about the importance of the project.

Montler's research has been funded by a $349,033 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) aimed to preserve languages threatened with extinction.
