With fluent Mi'gmaw speakers aging and passing away, teachers Madelaine Metallic and Karen Martin are working to pass the language on to the next generation.
Teachers Madelaine Metallic and Karen Martin may not speak perfect Mi'gmaw, but that doesn't stop them from using everything they know in their classrooms.
"We're not distinguished speakers by any means. But [with] what we do know, we've managed to build resources, teaching material and help each other to pass on as much as we can." They both teach at a school in Listuguj Mi'gmaq First Nation, which offers Mi'gmaw immersion from nursery to Grade 4.
