The Language of Literacy:
A National Resource Directory of Aboriginal Literacy Programs

is dedicated to the practitioners and coordinators involved in aboriginal literacy in Canada.
Their commitment and dedication to this endeavour, exemplified by
their selfless and tireless work, continue to provide a well-spring of hope
and empowerment to thousands of aboriginal people in Canada.

The publication of The Language of Literacy in December, 1998
also coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the signing of United Nations
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 26 of the Declaration states:

Everyone has a right to education. . . . Education shall be directed to
the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening
of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. . . .
This resource directory is dedicated, as well, to Article 26 of the
UN Universal Declaration, and its full and
unrestricted implementation in Canada and abroad.
