Voices from the Land: Indigenous Peoples Talk Language Revitalization - Rev. Larry Beardy
The Legacy of Hope Foundation (LHF) is pleased to announce the release of episode 20 with Reverend Larry Beardy. Rev. Beardy is from Tataskweyak Cree Nation on Treaty 5 Territory. Rev. Beardy is a former Cree language syllabics teacher. Rev.Beardy shares how he entered teacher training in his own community and learned about the structure of the syllabics writing through the local Elders who used to teach the language. For younger students, he shares that it is important to focus solely on the oral form and to be in an environment where the language thrives, for example with transmission of the language through story-telling. Rev. Beardy shares how the language and the culture must be taught together and how important it is to teach it on the land, not just in the classroom. He talks about the history of the Cree syllabics language system, sharing: “My understanding of creating the syllabic system, it was created by our people. Our own people. They took the symbols of the land or the signs, what I call monuments… it’s all in the symbols of our syllabics.” Rev. Beardy thinks often about how to re-introduce the language back to the youth so that the Elders and the young can speak together. He says the language is healing and can be found within, it is just a matter of learning how to bring it out.

Voices from the Land: Indigenous Peoples Talk Language Revitalization - Kim Halcrow
The Legacy of Hope Foundation (LHF) is pleased to announce the release of episode 19 with Kimberly Halcrow. Kimberly lives in Gillam, Manitoba and is a mother, a Cree language teacher and Pow Wow Instructor among other important roles. Kimberly has been teaching the Cree language in school for over 6 years. She loves the process and finding ways to get the kids feeling excited and engaged with the language. One method of teaching the language to her younger students is by translating English songs like The Itsy Bitsy Spider into Cree. Kimberly’s teaching strategy is creative, intuitive and supportive. Kimberly talks about how she uses the Total Physical Response method (TPR) and how it helps to communicate and understand student’s comprehension. As the only Cree speaking teacher at the school, Kimberly shares how important it is to go to conferences because they connect her to other language teachers. Her mindset goes beyond the classroom and into community efforts of making the Cree language more visible. She shares: “I always have new ideas to introduce Cree language, for them to have fun… I always try to speak it first because growing up we weren’t given a book in Cree or sheet to do. It was always spoken to us and it's a very good teaching.. you just have to listen and look around your environment and surroundings.” Kimberly is the kind of teacher students hope for!
