Dr. Lana Whiskeyjack, n\u00eahiyaw scholar, is conducting the Reconnecting to the Spirit of Language research project. The work involves holding dialogue circles to discuss n\u00eahiyaw\u00eawin (Cree language) revitalization. Dr. Kevin Lewis, n\u00eahiyaw scholar, is the founder and coordinator of k\u00e2niy\u00e2sihk \u2014 a series of accrediting year-round on-the-land n\u00eahiyaw\u00eawin immersion camps held in Ministikwan, Saskatchewan. Those at k\u00e2niy\u00e2sihk recently built a traditional birch bark canoe, which has been taken out on the nearby lake. We held a dialogue circle at k\u00e2niy\u00e2sihk, and used a small model of the hand-held birch bark canoe as a speaking tool. The holder of the small birch bark canoe is the person whose turn it is to speak. This photo features the hands of Matilda Lewis, who is the mother of Dr. Kevin Lewis, holding a mini-birch bark canoe during a dialogue circle in which we discussed effective n\u00eahiyaw\u00eawin language revitalization methodologies in n\u00eahiyaw\u00eawin. Dr. Lana Whiskeyjack hired MACT student Kyle Napier, a fellow n\u00eahiyaw scholar, as a graduate research assistant to assist with this project. He is trained in journalism, but now works at the convergence of digital technologies and Indigenous language revitalization. He took this photo of Matilda Lewis\u2019 hands while recording the dialogue circle. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
