A Companion Guide for Your Identity Lives in Your Language

By Edward Mirasty

This is a teacher's guide to teach a unit plan that engages students in a sustained study of the book: Your Identity Lives in Your Language: A Conversation with Dr. Leo J. Omani by Edward Mirasty, an interview text in the PAGC Elder and Scholar Voices series. Dr. Omani - a Dakota Knowledge Keeper, Elder, and scholar of the Wahpeton Dakota Nation - recounts how language, family teachings, and ceremony carried him from residential school through a Bachelor of Education with distinction, a pioneering Master's degree using community-based participatory research, and a doctorate that helped bring Dakota, Nakota, and Lakota people into treaty discussions in Canada.
