Owls See Clearly at Night/LII Yiiboo Nayaapiwak LII Swer: A Michif Alphabet/l'Alfabet Di Michif

By Julie Flett

Book Overview

The language of the M tis, Michif is a combination of French and Cree with a trace of other regional languages. Once spoken by thousands of people across the prairies of Canada and the northern United States, Michif is now so little spoken that it might disappear within a generation. This alphabet book is part of a resurgence to celebrate and preserve the traditions of the M tis people. Here Michif and English words combine with images from M tis culture to introduce all generations to the unique Michif language.
