Voices from the Land: Indigenous Peoples Talk Language Revitalization - Harriet St. Pierre

  • Summary

  • Harriet St. Pierre was raised speaking Michif. She has travelled to many places in Canada, working at different jobs before returning to Saskatchewan, where she worked in education as an Elder counsellor for many years. Retired now, she teaches Michif and provides translation support for language resources. Harriet shares the importance of having one’s Indigenous language and how it feels to be able to express one’s-self in their language. The Michif language is essential, Harriet shares, as it helps show the community, culture, and nation to whom it belongs. Today, she continues to teach Michif via Zoom with high school students.
