Hul'q'umi'num Program Names

Kw’umut Lelum is transitioning the names of its programs and departments from English to Hul'q'umi'num. This significant step reflects our commitment to cultural identity, ongoing decolonization of services, and respect for Coast Salish traditions.

The adoption of Hul'q'umi'num names to describe the work of the organization is a meaningful effort to align Kw'umut Lelum’s practices with the cultural heritage of its 9 Member Nations.
