Since 1986, I rarely had any support teaching Anishinaabemowin. In 2008, I began seeing a change happening. Language loss and true connection to the environment is eminent. You still here, Sandra? Naadmooshik/help me! Anishinabek Nation RoseAnne Archibald 🧡

A child is a gift from the Creator. Bi = coming from Noo = to show Jii = spirit nh = emphasis * show beauty of life If a young woman had a child at young age or out of wedlock. They were labeled a BASTARD. How CRUEL the dominant society was and is. Wiikwemkoong Anishinaabemowin Kinoomaagewin

As a First Nation's teacher, I will NOT conform to any Bill such as this that demeans my own existence. Federal silence on Quebec’s language law an affront to First Nations across the country scho.ca/n830900 Wiikwemkoong Anishinaabemowin Kinoomaagewin Anishinabek Nation RoseAnne Archibald 🧡

So honoured to be a witness today to the official transfer of the Treaty Pipe, a cultural belonging from the 1836 Manitoulin Island Treaty signing. It’s now on its way home. Amazing work by Space Investor, Anishinaabe scholars & so many others in collaboration with Royal Ontario Museum.

This meaningful gesture is a reminder of the mutual commitments and obligations between the indigenous and non-indigenous people of this land.

What does this mean today? For me it is true. Everyone says, our language is important. Don't just say it or write it on paper. "Our language is Anishinaabemowin and English is a secondary language."
