“It hath alwayes bene the use of the conqueror to dispose
the language of the conquered, and to force him by all meanes to learne his. Soe that the speach being Irish, the hart must needes be Irishe; for out of the aboundance of the hart, the tonge speaketh.” Edmund Spencer “A Veue of the present state of Irelande” [1596]
Just like every other language on the planet. It is both your window and your blinds
Growing up learning and experiencing the culture, heritage, and language of Cree was amazing. I can only imagine how amazing the other cultures are! Hoop dancing, beadworking, etc. Are beautiful! The lessons you can learn from their heritage is immeasurable. She mentioned briefly that rocks are animate, I challenge you to understand why that is. This is an amazing video showcasing so much that is easily missed. Educate yourself on the cultures, because you’ll grow more than you think.

Was super surprised to hear about Mi’kmaq being a well-reserved language. My dad’s side of the family recently found out the specific tribe we’re descended from is Mi’kmaq, and lately I’ve been reading up on it to learn about the culture, language, etc. My grandpa’s brother has been involving himself in the culture for a few years now to get back what was taken from my great-grandpa.
