I have a few friends that can speak and write Cree and I've been pitching to them an idea of recording short videos about different Cree words and phrases to help teach future generations, on @pixelfed ofc

I know a few words, but they can have full on discussions in it, and the language is dying, I'd love to do my part to help spread it around

@dansup @pixelfed Great idea! There are other languages "fading out", like #Sicilian (it's a language, not an Italian dialect).

@dansup
I would love to see this so much! There have been some similar projects in the past for sure.

100 days of Cree is a really wonderful book with a new word each day and explanation about each word.

I would love to see something similar from a different Cree community.

@pixelfed I spoke to a few other cree friends this weekend and they loved this idea, and one has a daughter who posts vids of traditional dances at pow wows, I'm trying to get her on @pixelfed

I'm so proud of my heritage and will do my best to help pass it on 😁
