“English is so hierarchical. In Cree, we don't have animate-inanimate comparisons between things. Animals have souls that are equal to ours. Rocks have souls, trees have souls. Trees are 'who,' not 'what.”
― Tomson Highway

“There is no concept of justice in Cree culture. The nearest word is kintohpatatin, which loosely translates to "you've been listened to." But kintohpatatin is richer than justice - really it means you've been listened to by someone compassionate and fair, and your needs will be taken seriously.”

“I passed the friendship centre and nodded to an old couple on the porch. Kookum smiled back and nodded, a cotton kerchief on her head. Moshum's eyes squinted, too, but never looked straight at me, just glanced my presence once, and that was enough. Old school. I knew that when they stood up to hobble home, he would lead a few feet ahead, and she would follow. They grew up in the bush and still walked the same way, as if the wide road was nothing more than a narrow path through the muskeg and spruce.”

“鈥斅縌ue si creo en un anciano de barba blanca que vive en las nubes y juzga a los mortales con un c贸digo moral de diez mandamientos? 隆Cielo santo, querida Elly, claro que no! Me habr铆a expulsado de esta vida hace a帽os por mi alocada historia. 驴Que si creo en un misterio, en el inexplicable fen贸meno que constituye la vida misma? 驴Que si creo en algo m谩s grande que nosotros y que ilumina la inconsecuencia de nuestras vidas? 驴En algo que nos da una raz贸n por la que luchar y la humildad para purificarnos y empezar de nuevo? Entonces s铆, s铆 que creo en 茅l. Es la fuente del arte, de la belleza, del amor, y ofrece la bondad suprema a la humanidad. Esto es Dios para m铆. Esto es la vida, y es en esto en lo que creo.”

“All native languages are in danger of dying in Canada. We must each do our part in any way we can to preserve these languages. Cree is my native tongue, the first language I spoke when I came into this earth, so I feel it's my responsibility to do whatever I can to help preserve it.”

“Language preservation is like saving the birds. We don鈥檛 want birds to go extinct. Imagine Canada without the sound of a loon. It鈥檚 a classic Canadian sound. Canada would lose part of its soul if loons went extinct. It鈥檚 the same thing with languages. Native languages, in this country, or in any country, are part of its sonic environment. It鈥檚 part of our connection with the earth. We must each do our part in any way we can to preserve these languages.”
