Description
An indigenous language helps us engage with our environment in a way that places humans within a network of relationships and the whole of life. It sees others as extended family.
During this Zoom presentation, Dr. Mark Freeland will introduce a few basic concepts of kinship and relationality in his language, Ojibwemowin, helping us to restore our relationship with land and embrace a worldview of kinship.
