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

I had to google that one, it's Cherokee, which I'm not familiar with.

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!

TO ALL(but especially MMF) provincial Métis Govs and groups "Way to go" from me!

This is what division and infighting brings a community. Im glad you all put your status and your politics ahead of our people.

'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.'

#Métis Looking to reconnect - Heard a family rumour, but aren’t sure where to start? Willing to do the work?

Visit the Hudson’s Bay Archives online to find family names/locations/employee records, etc. to help get started on your journey: https://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/

Plan for at least 5 years of research, lots of dead-ends, and a couple of miracles. Expect a lifetime of learning, (re)connecting, hard work, paradigm shifts, returning to the land and community. #genealogy #Michif #FurTrade #Indigenous

Some fun beadwork at the farm. #metis #michif
