I am grateful that this is coming First Nations Languages Day.
I give thanks to the ancestors who came to pass on from generation to generation the Cree culture, Cree traditions, Cree life.
I hope that future generations pass on these teachings to their children, their grandchildren, all ways of being Cree.
And today, persevere, tell each other the traditional stories, speak Cree to each other. Resist losing our language.
