"Through poems that move between the two languages, McIlwraith explores the beauty of the intersection between nehiyawewin, the Plains Cree language, and English, akayasimowin. Written to honour her father's facility in nehiyawewin and her mother's beauty and generosity as an inheritor of Cree, Ojibwe, Scottish, and English, kiyam articulates a powerful yearning for family, history, peace, and love."--Publisher's description. Kiyam contemplates language loss and recovery in the twenty-first century, by relating one woman's journey in learning an Indigenous language. |
