This weekend, I proudly joined my band 2nd Generation in celebrating an ECMA for our music video Kinamu.
It is the first Fans Choice ECMA Video of the Year to be in the Mi’kmaw language – I was proud to dedicate this win to those working to revitalize our language.
Congratulations Wab! I felt the joy in your family’s faces as you took the stage last night! What a wonderful outcome! Know Sakej and I stand behind you as well!
Manitoba – thank you so much for this honour.
Our team will give everything we have for the next four years to serve you, the people of this province.
Tomorrow, the work begins to make life better. I know we can do it. Because together, we’re capable of great things.
What a day!
A blessing to connect with such a heavy hitter and scholar-activist, the one and only @imperialbuster!

@CBCNS@MalindaSmith An important step in the recovery of #Mi'kmawlanguage stolen by Eurocentric colonialism, Indian residential and public schools, post-secondary institutions, 60's Scoop of children, and more, but more importantly, a necessary tool in the survival of #Indigenousknowledge.
