In this video, you will hear poetry and art weaving Anishinaabemowin, Dene Dháh, Dene Yatié, Denesułįné, Hul’qumi’num, Inuktitut, Michif, Mi'kmaq, Mi'gmaq, nêhiyawêwin, nīhithawīwin, Sahtúot’ı̨nę Yatı, Sm’algya̱x , Stoney Nakoda, and ᏣᎳᎩ.

These issues were generously funded by the Edmonton Arts Council.
