Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities:
We still have a number of fluent speakers as well as quite a number of semi-speakers. There is a desire and willingness in our communities to learn Gitxsanim'x.
Challenges:
Virtually no children, youth or young adults speak Gitxsanim'x. Funding is often an issue.
