Thank you so much Samantha for sharing this.I've suffered with this for much of my life. I am from Thunder Bay Beach, Tiny, and, unbeknownst to me or my family, we spoke Michif Francais at home and in our community. I went to school in Lafontaine, and as said in the film, speaking Michif was frowned upon, and we were corrected. So we learnt the correct spelling and pronunciation, but it never felt natural, and we spoke Michif at home. I honestly had no idea we were speaking Michif until this past year. I was so happy when I discovered out that I printed a page of the French Michif language and shared it with relatives and friends. I explained that we weren't speaking awful French after all! WE WERE SPEAKING IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE: MICHIF! They were all startled, as well. I also have to admit that I probably wouldn't be able to write in Michif, but I can speak and read it. I look forward to getting more information and look forward to possibly join some of the classes when they are ready. “Miigwetch”
