Six Nations Polytechnic is leading a new research project—Leveraging AI for Indigenous Language Learning—to explore how AI can support Indigenous language revitalization. Funded by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario, the project examines whether adaptive AI tools can complement SNP’s existing in-person language programs and help preserve sacred knowledge while upholding data sovereignty. To guide the work, SNP is using a custom research framework that centres Indigenous values, storytelling, and protocols. The project will ultimately evaluate the cultural integrity and long-term sustainability of AI-assisted learning tools through a lens guided by Indigenous community leadership and lived experience.
