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

'This is the #dichotomy we have between what people write about the things #Indigenous people have done on the landscape vs sensible reasons for why it was done,” said Benoit, whose heritage is #RedRiver #Michif (#Métis ). “Through #OralTradition, we knew that there were good #ecological and #food -related reasons to do these things.”

Benoit’s point is that the #Prairies were “#settled ” and #farmed long before #European #settlers arrived.'
