As ..I person who has recently..discovered his heritage as a part Métis people…It’s fascinating..to learn of our culture…I had no idea? But since I have been identified..I want to learn more were my family came from…I’m sharing this knowledge with my family…Apparently my family fought along side with Lois reil.. and the resistance .. and died for the cause…I’m looking forward to discovering more about these people and share the knowledge…thank you for this video..
Taanishi, aen naami.
Mi faamii aen kishkayihtuhk Michif.
...it's in our blood, it's how we live our lives.
Bless you for producing content like this!

I hope you’ve kept learning, love to see more learners out there!!!
You want to say ‘Hello my friends. My family and I are learning Michif’?
It sounds like you got the right words from the Heritage Michif to Go Dictionary, but the words need to be conjugated to make sense. I think a better way to say it would be:
Taanishi mii zaamii!
Niya pi ma faamii gakwee-kishkeeyihtenaan li Michif.
I’m a learner myself though too, not a fluent speaker.

Thank you! So much!!! Yes!! I have not learned proper procedure/conjugation.
This being, for the most part, that our access to "menomini" teachers is much higher. My great grandfather was a Metís, but a French/Ojibwe... Great grandma was a pure Menominee woman.
Given my proximity to the Menominee Rez and all of it's learning opportunities, we are FULLY learning Menomini, first. (We are fairly far along. 🤓)
I also struggle with.. "which" Michif to learn, because my Metis family was from the south shore of the western Lake Superior area.
@@aldoushuxley3704 that’s really neat! I definitely agree, good move to learn the one you have access to more resources for and more speaking community to talk with. Although if you do want Michif resources someday, I definitely recommend the course from Prairies to Woodlands.
Based on the area you describe, I think it’s entirely likely they did not speak Michif, but rather French and Anishininaabemowin. Many Métis communities never did really speak Michif, like in Northern Alberta the Métis settlements mostly just speak Cree. The French might have been a dialect similar to modern Michif French though. Cool family story!

This was EXTREMELY informative and helpful. Thank you, immensely, for taking the time.
I noticed, upon beginning to learn Michif, that, although I loved and was fascinated with the language, it did not "feel"... "Me" (if that makes any sense)... But when I would HEAR Ojibwe/menomini/or any of the anishinaabe "trade fusion languages" they felt like they were ringing to my core. I ESPECIALLY feel this way about Menomini.
Thank you again, for taking the time to inform/assist me on my journey! It "made more sense of things" for me.

A very well done video! ❤
Thank you for this video. Shared!
So interesting- I just read "The Northwest is our Mother" - Métis history book by Jean Teillet. This video is a good companion to the book.
I just added the book to my Amazon cart. My sister recommended it! Nearly 40 now and just learning where I come from. I've had my metis card my whole life but didn't really know much about it till recently.
Extremely interesting ,keep on going
👍🏻 good

You look 90% Scottish.
Canada is very BROAD with that definition. The Spanish only meant it. 50% indigenous. Anything less than that was Catizo but Canadians don’t even seem 1/16th indigenous.
