June marks National Indigenous History Month.
Starting today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, and for the next four days, TimminsToday will be sharing a Cree Word of the Day.
Today's featured word is Hello or Wâciye in Cree.
Listen how to say the word here.
Timmins is situated on the traditional lands of Mattagami First Nation and the ancestry is Ojibway.
Hello in Ojibway is aanii (pronounced ah-knee), gwe gwe (kway kway), or boozhoo (boo-shoe).
