National Adult Literacy Database

Authors: Invert Media

Collection: Research Materials

This survey was commissioned in 2007 by the National Association of Friendship Centres, which represents more than a hundred organizations that provide programs and services to Aboriginal people living in urban areas.

The authors have provided background information; a summary and analysis of the survey results; and recommendations based on the survey results and analysis. Attachments to the report include copies of the survey questions as well as a detailed breakdown of the survey response data and a bibliography.

The authors note that this document could form the basis for a strategy addressing the urgent issue of language loss among urban First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities, but can only be useful for that purpose if there is a significant increase in the overall level of support for Aboriginal languages.
