Words and Culture

The Written Language

CRFC-FCRC Season 8 Episode 2

There are a lot of assumptions around Indigenous languages in Canada. But the biggest fallacy might be that they are purely oral language. Host Pam Palmater talks with educator, poet, and artist Michelle Sylliboy whose work focuses on the oral and written language of Mi’kmaq. Petroglyphs tell the story of contact while others are pre-contact.
