Description

Mahchiminahtik Chippewa and Cree Language Revitalization is a non-profit on the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation dedicated to revitalizing the Chippewa and Cree languages through programs, projects and activities mostly focused on teaching adults. When MCCLR began their language revitalization work, their goal was to teach adults the language in hopes that they would someday go and teach others. What MCCLR did not expect or anticipate was how healing the language would be.
