Young Indigenous people often feel enormous pressure to learn and preserve languages that are at risk of falling silent. Language revitalization is necessary, but that responsibility cannot rest on their shoulders alone. Learners need encouragement, patience, and safe places where mistakes are treated as part of learning—not reasons for embarrassment.

My new story, “The Words Waiting Inside Him,” explores that struggle through the experiences of a young Cree student.

🛸 For as long as I can remember, UFOs have been a much talked about subject on the rez. Around kitchen tables, at late-night fires, during long drives on dark northern roads, and even during casual visits, people have shared stories about strange lights in the sky and encounters they could never fully explain.Some stories were passed down quietly. Others were told with excitement, fear, or wonder. Whether people believe or not, these conversations have always been part of northern life and storytelling.I wrote a new article exploring these memories, sightings, and conversations that many of us grew up hearing about. 🌌🌲Read here: https://t.co/FyvgPu1p5B

Treaty 6 Annuity Dispute: LLRIB to Pursue Legal Options
