โHello Everyone! Frank is my name. I come from Bonaparte, which is part of the Shuswap Nation.โ
As an Indigenous person, our DNA is our land, and our connection to our land is our language. Today, letโs celebrate ๐ก๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ by learning 1 new word for the next 365 days.

As language is so important, we are thinking about finding a new name for โMoccasin Trails Consulting.โ โConsulting,โ is a colonial word, so weโd like to move away from this, to find something that better connects with our language and culture. But, what may be a suitable word in my language, for example, helping others, โ๐๐ป๐๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐โ [K-new-went-twa], is a different word in Gregโs Chipewyn language. Itโs not a simple change, however, we look forward to sharing more with you as we work towards finding the right word(s) that resonate with what we are doing. We welcome your thoughts.

I was born and raised in the Northwest Territories. In our language, we say, ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ต [den-en-day] - Denendeh translates to โThe land of the people,โ because we truly believe that our land is a living person.

I challenge you, to go out and learn the local Indigenous language of the community, you share them with.
