In Ojibwe our word for friend is niichkiwenh (pronounced neech-ki-weh).

The name comes from the Anishaabemowin language of the Ojibwe people, whose land our school resides on. It means “Let’s Work Together”. Take a look at this video for further explanation on the meaning behind the name- youtu.be/nWk-xzyD2mA

I abhor listening to the sound of my own voice, but for anyone else interested, this is today on Stateside. Professor Kirsten Matoy Carlson & I got to chat about the Castro-Huerta decision (😫) and its potential impacts (🤷‍♀️).

This is my amazing sister! How absolutely spectacular - speaking up for Native American sovereignty.

After we learn a new sound it becomes the “secret password” for entering the classroom, allowing for several extra daily repetitions. The kids ❤️ it - and don’t worry about the ones who forget; if they don’t copy the child in front of them I supply the sound for them to repeat.

Miigwech YRDSB for welcoming us to hold our Georgina Island pow wow at Sutton District High School, it was a great location and the support from Board staff and students was incredible!
