Land Acknowledgement
I would like to acknowledge that I live on traditional lands, known as Treaty 4 territory. My home town is located on Treaty 4 territory, the original lands of the Cree, Ojibwe, Saulteaux, Dakota, Nakota, Lakota, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.
I respect and honour the treaties that were made on these lands, I acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and I am committed to move forward alongside the Indigenous Nations and all other Treaty people in reconciliation and collaboration.

Personal Connection:
I took Cree 100 as my language class in my first year of University. I learned how to say basic words and sentences in Cree. The first word I learned in Cree was "Tansi" which is the greeting in the video. I found this class very interesting! I then decided to take Cree 101 to advance my learning. I will use basic Cree words in my classroom to educate the students and make connections with the Cree language speakers. Learning words in a different language is fun and engaging for all ages of people! |
