Solomon Ratt, Cree Language Professor from the First Nations University of Canada’s Regina campus shares one of his teaching aide in helping his students and community learn Cree through a Facebook group. A few years ago, Solomon was trying to find ways to keep his university classes engaged in keeping up with their Cree language in between class times. By starting a Facebook group where he uploading videos for his students to learn Cree, Solomon’s Facebook group grew from students, to community members and eventually to global learners logging on and engaging in his Cree language videos. A community formed on the Facebook group and is now larger than ever. Solomon hopes that with growing technology, the revitalization of the Cree language will grow just as much.
