    Where can I get a copy? I`d like to share the document with our MALS group, Manitoba Aboriginal Language Strategy. Manitoba is in the processes of developing a language declaration, MB consist of 7 Aboriginal Languages.

      I’m still trying to get a real syllabic copy from Maskwacîs, but I’ll let them know you’re asking too!
