miyo kîsikâw!
As far as I know that means good day in nehiyawewin (plains cree). Still working on learning my own language. It's kinda slow going, but that's life.

I can understand that ... Cree dialects stretch from the Rocky Mountains, across the Prairies, around James and Hudson Bay and all the way to Labrador.
I pronounce it 'Mino Keesheekah'
and it doesn't matter how good you are with the language ... as long as you are trying to reclaim and hold onto anything that was taken away or lost, your ancestors would be happy.
eh-koh-teh doo-dem (that's all, my friend)
Mino Keesheekah!
Do you happen to have any resources for learning the language? I would be interested myself.
And a big "merci" to you too my friend. Indigenous peoples are getting increasingly more representation everywhere and the crimes against its peoples are finally being talked about on the media and being recognized.
The next step is reparations.
As long as it is moving in positive directions ... it's always a good sign
Here's to more progress in the future! 🥂
