Thanks for liking @SarahbaxterSTM. You mention in your article that children were beaten for speaking their own language. Thankfully, work goes on today to keep these tongues alive, see, youtu.be/wB3neJ8ZUmc @mycndg @wprensky @Maya_Chacaby at #orkneysciencefestival

Indigenous folks, Be cautious of people who want to "pick your brain" over coffee and lunch. There are people out there stealing ideas and boosting their careers for the price of a double double.
