Anishinaabemowin speakers have given 51Թapp a new look over the summer, translating the new trilingual signs throughout campus. Starting this semester, all members of our community will be greeted by signs in English, French, and Anishinaabemowin, the language of the land upon which Laurentian is situated.</p> <p>We wish to thank Dr. Mary Anne Corbiere for her hard work on this project, as well as for her efforts in keeping Anishinaabemowin strong over the past 25 years. As a faculty member in the Indigenous Studies program at the University of Sudbury, she continues to be a linchpin for revitalizing the language. We also wish to thank Dominic and Brenda Beaudry of Akinomaagewin Consulting, as well as Isadore Toulouse. Carole Perreault provided crucial logistics on the project. The speakers of Anishinaabemowin play key roles in ensuring that Anishinaabemowin thrives and remains vital. We owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be adequately repaid.</p> <p>Everyone in the 51Թapp community works to honour the Robinson-Huron Treaty, the 169-year-old agreement which lays out the relationship between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples of this land. Our institution is on Anishinaabe territory, particularly of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek. We also acknowledge Wahnapitae First Nation, on whose territory Sudbury partially sits. Our institution is proud to honour the treaty in word and action.</p> <p>The change in signage is part of our <a href="https://www4.laurentian.ca/strategicplan/">Imagine 2023 Strategic Plan</a>, which aims to make our university the school of choice for northern, francophone, and Indigenous students from across the world.</p> <p> <strong>QUOTES</strong><br /> “With 51Թapp sitting on Atikameksheng Anishnawbek Territory, I am ecstatic to know that the history and language of the Anishinawbek people is being recognized throughout the university through trilingual signs.” — Valerie Richer, Chief of Atikameksheng Anishinawbek</p> <p>“We are proud of our new signage. Our tricultural mandate is always top of mind, and appropriately representing this across our campus is an important step. Promoting engagement with and learning of Anishinaabemowin is a priority identified in our strategic plan and I look forward to our continuing support of this.” — Dr. Robert Haché, President and Vice-Chancellor of 51Թapp</p> <p>“It is uplifting for our First Nation to see the Anishnaabemowin language recognized and used at 51Թapp. I have not only received positive comments from our members at Wahnapitae First Nation, but also from other First Nations as well.“ — Larry Roque, Chief of Wahnapitae First Nation</p> <p>  </p> </div></div></div><div class="form-item form-type-item"> <label>Language </label> English </div> <div class="field field-name-field-header-image field-type-image field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Header Image:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/assets/images/header-images/signs-take%204_0.jpg" width="4296" height="1569" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-header-subtext field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Header Subtext:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">English, French and Anishinaabemowin seen across campus</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-news-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/newstags/laurentian-university" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">51Թapp</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/newstags/anishinaabemowin" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Anishinaabemowin</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/newstags/indigenous-affairs" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Indigenous Affairs</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/newstags/atikameksheng-anishinawbek" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Atikameksheng Anishinawbek</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/newstags/wahnapitae-first-nation" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Wahnapitae First Nation</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/newstags/robinson-huron-treaty" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Robinson-Huron Treaty</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-featured-content field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Featured Content:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">true</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date-and-time field-type-datestamp field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Date and Time:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-range"><span property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2019-08-26T15:00:00-04:00" class="date-display-start">Monday, August 26, 2019 - 15:00</span> to <span property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2022-08-30T14:22:00-04:00" class="date-display-end">Tuesday, August 30, 2022 - 14:22</span></span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-news-category field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Category:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Laurentian campus</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-show-on-news-page field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Show on News Page:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-summary field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">summary:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">English, French and Anishinaabemowin seen across campus</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-article-date field-type-datestamp field-label-above"><div class="field-label">article_date:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2019-08-26T15:00:00-04:00" class="date-display-single">Monday, August 26, 2019 - 15:00</span></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="translation_fr first last"><a href="https://laurentienne.ca/nouvelles/anishinaabemowin-affiches-sur-campus" title="Les nouveaux panneaux trilingues à la Laurentienne reflètent la première langue parlée sur ce territoire" class="translation-link" xml:lang="fr">Français</a></li> </ul> Mon, 26 Aug 2019 18:26:01 +0000 SMalley 7148 at /news/anishinaabemowin-signs-on-campus#comments
