November 14 marks one year since an Indigenous Langauge App was launched.
Brendan Eshom is a 2020 graduate of Prince Rupert’s Charles Hays Secondary School who launched the first version of the Sm’algyax Word of the Day website, smalgyaxword.ca on November 14, 2019. Eshom, who is a member of the Gitga’at First Nation immersed himself in the language throughout the years of public education.
Now the public is invited to suggest words that will be translated into Sm’algyax and will be featured on the web, in apps and through related social media. Website users can request a word by visiting www.smalgyaxword.ca/request.
