I have a few friends that can speak and write Cree and I've been pitching to them an idea of recording short videos about different Cree words and phrases to help teach future generations, on @pixelfed ofc

I know a few words, but they can have full on discussions in it, and the language is dying, I'd love to do my part to help spread it around

@dansup @pixelfed Great idea! There are other languages "fading out", like #Sicilian (it's a language, not an Italian dialect).

@pixelfed I spoke to a few other cree friends this weekend and they loved this idea, and one has a daughter who posts vids of traditional dances at pow wows, I'm trying to get her on @pixelfed

I'm so proud of my heritage and will do my best to help pass it on 😁

@dansup @pixelfed Does Pixelfed handle video well? (Not hating. I don't know!)

Related: is there support for CDNs like CloudFlare Stream?

@dansup @pixelfed that's a good idea, especially for indigenous languages.

On Tiktok, for example, I follow an account where she does a Scots (language) word of the day.

I hold a smattering of the original Chumash language and carry a whole bunch of their songs. Which of course means nothing.
