<div dir="ltr">Taanshi, Shannon,<br><br>My name is Heather Souter. I am a Michif (Metis) from Camperville, Manitoba, Canada and an emerging speaker of Michif (the mixed language as spoken in North Dakota (Turtle Mountain Reservation), Montana (Rocky Boy Reservation), communities in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and some other provinces of Western Canada. I am also a language activist and graduate student. I work with my auntie and other elders here, doing both documentation and research. I have attended ALIDI, CILLDI, U of K in Lawrence, KS (where Dr. Akira Yamamoto was teaching until recently). I will be starting a degree program at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta this fall. If any of your students happen to be interested in Michif an/or its origins, please feel free to contact me. BTW, I use video Skype and would be pleased to answer any questions I can for individual students or your class as a whole.<br>
