Indigenous Languages Series: Mabel Horton

Mabel Horton is from the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation in Nelson House, Manitoba. She is fluent in Rocky Cree, learning it from her parents, grandparents, aunties, and cousins. Horton only started to learn English when she started school at six years old.

English and Cree couldn't be more different, and Horton shares the differences in the language structure and the history of the Cree language for the Indigenous Languages Series.
