Why “Our Legacy”?
• “kinanāskomitin: Our site name was given to us by a Cree researcher at the University of Saskatchewan Archives, who in turn was influenced by the late Chief Mary Ann Stoney, Little Pine First Nation. Chief Stoney was known for her commitment to Cree language curriculum development.”
