Michif: The Unique Language of the Métis Nation 🤝🇨🇦
Michif is a unique mixed language, primarily spoken by Métis people in Canada and the US. It typically combines Cree verbs and verb phrases with French nouns and noun phrases For example: "Good afternoon" would be "Bonn apray mijii” Efforts are underway to revitalize and preserve this endangered oral language. 🇨🇦 #Canada #Michif #Metis #IndigenousLanguages

Happy TRC day in Canada!!! Please learn about an Indigenous culture near you and how you can help the reconciliation process today. Here is a great website about the Metis which has a great section on "Métis Scrip". Do you know what scrip was and who it was given to? Click the link below to begin your learning journey!

I hope this is a sign that the #indgenous communities, #metis and #firstnations, can continue to repair relationships and work together.
