Mi'kmaw Language Program - Heather Knockwood


Heather Knockwood describes her work teaching the Mi’kmaw language to young children in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia and how she uses puppets to help encourage the children to speak conversational Mi’kmaw.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
