A comprehensive online database of language resources, including online lessons, speaker recordings, dictionaries, scholarly articles, and current preservation efforts. Though not a preservation initiative in of itself, the database is an invaluable resource for those attempting to commence or further their education in the Abenaki Language. 

This program, includes immersion-based language classes that are offered in the form of various language events in a given year. Though events are typically based in sites across New England, a large Abenaki presence from Canada is reported. Past events have included language immersion camps for children, cultural exhanges, storytelling events, and community outings. 

A comprehensive online education platform has also been developed by native speakers of Abenaki. Features of this website include an online dictionary, a radio show, online lessons, and sources for learning more about the language.

The Gwich'in Social and Cultural Institute (GSCI) holds annual language immersion camps in order to teach young students both the Gwich'in language, and traditional skills, such as hunting, medicines, and survival. As the immersion camps are held far away from urban centres and led by first-language speakers of Gwich'in, students are immersed in their traditional homelands and have very few opportunities to speak English. 

The GSCI also conducts research devoted to re-establishing placenames, recording speakers, and developing and publishing materials in the Gwich'in language. The GSCI is also in the process of developing a K-12 second language curriculum in partnership with the Inuvialuit Cultural Resource Centre and the Beaufort-Delta Education Council.

S.H.I.P. attempts to preserve and revitalize Skidegate Haida Language, and have it once again become the language spoken in households so that future generations of Haida people will speak the Skidegate Haida Language and pass it on to their children.

The Michif Language Learning Project began with the concept that the younger you are the easier it is to learn language. Repetition is required and access to Michif speakers can be problematic in many communities. It was this lack of early learning resource that prompted Marilyn Bean and Jan Ovans of the Cowichan Valley Métis Association, to apply for a Canadian Heritage grant, to develop an early childhood Michif immersion project.

Resources are offered online in a variety of media including videos, interactive games, speaker recordings, and DVDs available to order through BC Métis Associations.
