Directors Bio
Celestine Twigg has been an educator for 30 years teaching the Blackfoot language in the Livingstone Range school system in Alberta, near her home reserve of the Blackfoot Kainai Nation. It has been a long-time goal of Celestine to create cartoons to help share the language to youth and children.
Directors Statement
Preserving and sharing the Blackfoot Language and culture is so important. It is a way of creating community of keeping our past and future together. This project brings together Elders, youth, children, artists, teachers and cultural keepers, to retain and instill language and culture with people in my territory, and all around the world. Through this project I am helping the preservation of and renewal of our language, and the human species. The existence of renewal is important to the ecosystems and the language of the land as indigenous speakers, and the relationship for a larger purpose.
