Episode Nine: Language Learning with Hal Cameron

Hal Cameron is from amongst the Willow Cree people more formally known as the Beardy’s & Okimâsis First Nation. He has a passion for creating spaces where Nêhiyawêwin can exist in my daily life, to encourage learners to break through barriers and to promote the beauty of our indigenous languages through art. For Hal Nêhiyawêwin is more than a mode of communication. It has a profound ability to connect us to land, culture, history, ancestors, all at once and he works to will awaken this within our generation and for those to come.

Listen in as we talk about the Cree language, methods of language learning, barriers in learning the language, and how travelling abroad has motivated him to learn the Cree language.
