Today’s word of the day in #Mikmaq
Pjila'si (êp·chi·laa·si)
Pjila'si means "welcome, come in and sit down"
Decided that I should start from the beginning here.
Hi/kwe!
I'm Amy M Young. I'm a non-binary mi’kmaq living on the occupied land of my Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin) and Anishinabewaki friends. I grew up on Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭAnishininiimowin (Oji-Cree)
Michif Piyii (Métis) and Wabanaki (Dawnland Confederacy) Mi’kma’ki land.
I post a word of the day M-F around 10:30a.
