Can I use content from FirstVoices? | Permission for use of any content on FirstVoices language sites must be obtained from the originating community. The reason for this process is that the information uploaded to FirstVoices language sites remain the property of the originating community. First Peoples' Cultural Council and FirstVoices have no claim to the traditional knowledge of any peoples who upload information to our platform. This process is designed to reinforce and respect data sovereignty and traditional ways of knowing and learning. As such, we cannot grant permission for use of recordings. This can only be granted by the community who uploaded the recordings. In this instance, you need to contact the Language Administrator for the language site you are interested in. More information can be found here: Who owns the language recordings? |
How do I suggest content to add to FirstVoices? | The content of language sites hosted on FirstVoices is owned and maintained by each of the councils and language teams described on their 'About our Language’ page. If you would like to suggest content or enquire about a specific language feel free to contact the team for that language directly (their contact information should be found on their ‘About our Language’ page). |
I have a suggestion for how to make FirstVoices better! | We are always trying to improve FirstVoices and we really value your comments and suggestions; please email support@fpcc.ca with your idea. |
I am not a community member, can I still join a language site? | Registering to become a member of a language site is only permitted for members of that language community. That said, most content for the languages on FirstVoices is already available to everyone without registration. If the community has decided to make words and phrases public they will already be available to you by going to the Explore Languages page (https://www.firstvoices.com/explore/FV/sections/Data) and navigating to whichever languages you're interested in learning more about. |

I would like to start a language site, but I'm not based in British Columbia. | While we primarily serve British Columbia-based First Nations, we are open for collaboration with communities outside of BC. Limited funds do sometimes restrict the amount of support that we are able to provide. Whether or not we can meet your needs depends largely on the outcomes you would like for your project and how much support you would need to meet your goals. Please email kyra@fpcc.ca for more information. |
