Introductory Southern Michif 2

In-Person

Pee-piikishkweek! Join us for a 10-week course in Southern Michif. This course builds on what was learned in the Fall 2024 series Beginner Southern Michif for Adults. Participants must have taken an introductory course in Michif, or have basic conversational knowledge of the language. If you're not sure if this course is a good fit for you, contact our instructors at learnmichif@gmail.com.

Course ends May 26. There is no class on April 21 or May 19.

Instructors David Delorme and Mira Kolodka are Michifs who grew up in Winnipeg. They are both participants in a Mentor-Apprentice Program (MAP) organized by the Prairies to Woodlands Indigenous Language Revitalization Circle, which is designed to create new speakers of endangered languages such as Michif, considered to be critically endangered. They have training in teaching Indigenous languages from the University of Winnipeg, and have learned their language from mother tongue speakers and former MAP apprentices.

Ka-waapamitinawaaw! We look forward to seeing you there!
