Cree Elders Get Emotional When I Speak Their Dying Language

Anyway, I was challenged to come out in the middle of the ice cold winter to remote northern Saskatchewan to learn Cree, one of the world’s most difficult and highly endangered languages, by Patrick, a dancer from Canada’s indigenous Cree people, and then try to give a speech in Cree in front of a room full of skeptical elders. We also went dog sledding, sweat lodging, and moose eating – a truly unique First Nations / Native American experience! If you want to learn some Cree, Patrick and his family have Cree courses available at repeataftermecree.com
