Our Language Is from the Land: la laange coshchi la tayr
Shana Cardinal
in education, v27 n2b p19-27 Spr 2022
This article documents how my cultural identity as a Métis woman is inherently linked to Michif words and phrases that originate from the land. Through the Michif language I continue to situate myself directly on the Saskatchewan prairie landscape. And it is because of the collective efforts of Michif speakers and Métis Old Ones who work tirelessly toward the rejuvenation of Michif language that I have been led toward working within the healing landscape which I now occupy. [The subtitle is different on the .pdf version (la laange coshchi la tayr) and the URL: version (niinyanaan nutr piyii la laange).]
