NEHI 105: CONVERSATIONAL CREE
3 CREDITS

This is an introduction to Cree Language Immersion Program which consists of 3 Phases. The Program will utilize Cree Language stories and resources to assist in the learning of Cree.  The Program will concentrate initially on developing oral Cree language through storytelling by listening, speaking and comprehension. The Program will include full Cree immersion class discussion, lectures in circles, guest speakers, and presentations.  Research in the form of community and on-line content will be conducted by students for skills development complemented with introduction to reading and writing primarily for enhancement and reinforcement of speaking and comprehension of the language.

Our language is a gift from the Creator that we carry for our children. Our language carries the knowledge of this land.  Our language carries our knowledge of who we are. Our language carries our future –ahkameyihmok kimamawikaskihtanaw – Be Determined – “Together We Succeed”,  (Blue Quills Masters Class 2015)
