I’m back from a vacation in Chinook Jargon country. More about that in a post soon. 

For today, I want to remind you of our upcoming Chinook Jargon Gathering @ Fort Langley historical site in BC, on Friday and Saturday, the 12th and 13th of September. It’ll go all day both days. 

This will be approximately our 7th Chinuk-Wawa Gathering in 27 years…so don’t miss this opportunity! We’ve had a good number of RSVP’s (see below), and our lineup of presenters is looking stellar ✴️🌟🤩⭐✳️

Copying from my previous post about it:

It’ll be on Friday & Saturday, September 12th & 13th, 2025.

The location: Fort Langley National Historical Site, near Vancouver, BC, Canada.

It’ll run from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM both days.

THE PUBLIC IS INVITED!

There’s plenty of room for you.

What will we be doing at this CJ Gathering?

  • Meeting other people who are interested in the Jargon!
  • Learning songs!
  • Hearing Fort Langley staff tell how they use the Jargon in their work!
  • Practicing conversation, from very beginners on up!
  • Learning what role Fort Langley played in the history of the Jargon!
  • Seeing the differences between the dialects!
  • Read a CJ letter from Langley!
  • Sharing opportunities to stay involved with Jargon!
  • Planning future gatherings!
  • Learning to read & write the historic Chinuk-Pipa alphabet!
  • Hearing your presentation, if you want to make one! (Plus presentations by the experts!)

I’m told there will be some kind of swag, as well 😁
