About this campaign
The Haayk Foundation is excited to unveil a new design which weaves together traditional Tsimshian formline and language. On a deep royal blue background, David Robert Boxley has created a rising sun design with Sm'algya̱x words below that translate to, "The sun has risen on our language." Taken together, this represents our shared efforts to revive our beautiful language and the fruit of those efforts that have already come. In partnership with Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, and First Alaskans Institue, all the proceeds from this online fundraiser will go toward sending a delegation of Tsimshian, Haida, and Tlingit language activists to Aotearoa (New Zealand) for a cultural exchange, where we will be able to see and learn from the amazing work the Maori have done to save their beautiful language. We appreciate your continued support.
Dm aap’ag̱m goo la loom da na lip algya̱g̱m. We will remember what you've done for our language. Wayi wah!

I learned about the foundation at Stonington Gallery’s 40th anniversary event today.
It's good for our culture.
This is a powerful message that needs to be remembered, as the opposite is unacceptable. Gitwaaltk has taken on a new meaning for me, as I truly see the Haayk Foundation and others as language warriors - truly fighting to keep our language alive.
Language shapes the world. Happy to support this journey! Thank you for your work.
I support efforts to revive and pass along Native languages and to help support Native peoples to carry forward their cultures.
Naan dza dip ho'n la̱xha daa na lip algya̱g̱m.
