In this episode, we enter the fascinating and complex world of a language considered by some to be unique in the world - Michif - the language of the Métis of Canada and the U.S.A.  We meet some of the movers and shakers who are working politically and through the education system, to have Michif recognized as the official language of the Métis, as well as those whose passion and dedication are evidenced at the grass-roots level.

The documentary series ‘Finding Our Talk’ celebrates the many Canadian and international individuals, communities and organizations that are reclaiming their Indigenous languages, culture, stories, and identity.
