Let's Learn X̱aad Kíl

A Study Tool for the Alaskan Haida Language

X̱aad Kíl is not a language of the past—it is a language that still belongs here, though history has tried to take it away. Within the last century, boarding schools, government policies, and systemic efforts to erase Indigenous languages nearly silenced Haida in Alaska. Speakers were punished. Generations grew up without access to their own language. Even today, those who seek to learn face an uphill battle—limited resources, lack of institutional support, and a world that too often treats Indigenous languages as unimportant.

Let's Learn X̱aad Kíl is here to push back against that.

This interactive study tool was created to support Haida learners in reclaiming their language. As part of my work with Central Council Tlingit and Haida, I knew that Tlingit was not the only language our tribal citizens needed a space to learn. Haida deserves just as much support, recognition, and opportunity to thrive. This tool is not a corporate project or an outsider’s attempt to document something for history—it is meant to be a living, breathing resource for those who want to learn, speak, and carry X̱aad Kíl forward.

Features:

• Explore the Language – Walk through immersive spaces where Haida words are paired with everyday objects.

• Interactive Learning Games – Strengthen your skills with puzzles, memory challenges, and concept-matching exercises.

• Visual Dictionary – Connect words with images for easier recognition and retention.

• Real-Time Dictionary Search – Navigate the Haida language with an intuitive search tool designed for self-study.

• Call and Response Practice – Engage in simple conversations through interactive dialogue prompts.

This is more than just a study tool—it is a way to support Haida learners in reconnecting with their language and making sure X̱aad Kíl continues to be spoken in Alaska.
