Blog 3 additonal
It is so much fun, visiting the movies. Learning some new words. I don't care too much for the keeping of scores, (smile) but I guess that is a way of showing success, and a measurement of making progress. As I wnet through the hunting part, I put myself back in the day with my Dad and I as we used to go out snaring rabbits, we would put them out and go back an hour or so later and we would have some. It was fun walking in the woods with him, talking, laughing and getting food for supper. My dad never spoke Ojibwe to me though. He never used it, but I learned it from my Grandfather and Grandmother. I loved him just the same. smile I have gained some good knowledge from the Hadley book, after I scolded myself and put my mind in a more postive frame. That really helps. I went through the next few chapters with a breeze I hope my posts will show that. I hope when we finish up with this part of our learning, that we will do our own movies and others will be able to use it for a learning resource. Sounds fun. Until next post, Dedahgwash

Boozhoo Phyllis. Your blog is so well done. I get all of the feeds sent to my email account and always enjoy seeing an update from yours :) Your posts are just first class, very academic but importantly grounded in the experience of our communities and people with our language. Your Wimba post also sounded great :) Miigwech.
ReplyDeleteAaniin,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your memories of going with your dad to snare rabbits and how good it felt for you. It brought back memories for me when you mentioned that, like cutting wood and hauling water, it was hard work but i think its that special feeling and memories that make it so nice to remember our loved ones who we shared these times with.
