I want to give you the internet equivalent of a firm handshake. This needed to be said, thank you for being the one to say it.
I return the hand shake my friend.
Chimeegwetch doodem .... it means "thanks very much my friend."
I wish more non native people would take the initiative instead and acknowledge commemorations like this. It normalizes things like this and makes it more significant for us native people ... it makes us realize that more of non native Canada is open to acknowledging events like this, and by extension becoming more open and accepting of indigenous people and our culture ... not that Canada doesn't already, it just makes it more so.
Something I'd like to see is the addition of regional FN languages to the school curriculum for each province. I'm a languages nerd so I'm biased, but I think that would help (not to mention also help preserve the language of those particular nations)
