Cree: Cameron Adams
from U Radio Hosted by U Multicultural
Cameron Adams is a 5th-year Integrated Education student in the Faculty of Education at the University of Winnipeg. Cameron is ininiw-Anishinaabe and French-Canadian with Scottish and English ancestry from Gimli, Manitoba and Treaty from Memewiziibiing (Berens River), situated in Treaty 5 Territory. For the last decade, Cameron has been learning about his ancestral routes. He developed a passion for learning nēhinawēwin in high school after meeting an Elder, Florence Paynter, who shared their story in Indian Residential School. It was there that Cameron asked his Great-Grandmother what Indigenous language she spoke, and he found out it was ininīmowin (Swampy Cree) from kinosēw sīpīhk (Norway House, MB).
