Kumtuks Education
Kumtuks Education is a Vancouver-based educational organization that features British Columbia history and institutions and the philosophy of liberal democracy that gives us our prosperity and freedoms. Kumtuks means 'knowledge' in Chinook Jargon, a hybrid language that is part aboriginal and non aboriginal. Kumtuks shares knowledge and explores new narratives of history and public policy. If you love British Columbia and want to learn more about how it came to be, join our network for screenings, videos, podcasts and articles. Our province needs you! Become part of our network by letting us know about you at [email protected].
Kumtuks is supported by the Global Civic Policy Society. Its founder is Sam Sullivan, a Member of the Order of Canada, a former Mayor of Vancouver, and a Cabinet Minister in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. Some quotes and descriptors have been adjusted for clarity and brevity.
