Food for thought, from Richard Kistabish, Abitibiwinni Elder: traditionally we lived in round spaces. Now, everything is square. You can put anything in a corner - kids in classrooms, elders in homes. Freezers. Freezers killed sharing: square and usually white #HELISET

Dr. Daniel Kaufman, quoting a learner whose name I didn’t catch: “we are not revitalizing the language, it is revitalizing us” - language is creating a space for building community. So much needed in these times #HELISET #IYIL2019

Something I’ve been thinking about, that came up with Dr. Kaufman: we want to be inclusive, so speak a common language, but we have to realize the impact this has on the survival of our language. How do we balance this?
