Research proposal written entirely in #Cree #language receives federal funding

A Faculty of #SocialWork research funding proposal written entirely in nêhiyawewin, the Cree language, has been approved for funding by the #SocialSciences and #Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to demonstrate their commitment to supporting #Indigenous languages in government-funded opportunities. This is the first proposal submitted exclusively in an Indigenous language to be funded by a federal funding agency. #science #Canada #IndigenousPeoples

Somehow I ended up with too many stitches?? But the lace pattern lined up just fine, so I'm not really sure what happened. 🤷‍♂️

The handspun alpaca is sooo dreamy for this project. Good halo, great stitch definition, and baby soft 🥺
