Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Revitalization of the Cree Language. Being able to share my work and knowledge with my customers and students. I want to help others learn the Cree Language so that my language will not be lost.

How do you stay motivated?

I teach part time where ever I am needed and I teach voluntarily sometimes. I like to have fun teaching and I'm very spontaneous about teaching my language to anyone who is interested in learning how to speak Cree. I would like to own my own store front mixed in with a teaching business. I want to spend more time interviewing Elders, Knowledge keepers, Instructors and students. As well as fluent Cree Language speakers. I have been working on revitalization of the Cree Language since 1990.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to create Cree Language Learning books for children and adults. I would also use the money to write syllabics on t shirts and cups to sell to help make my teaching business grow. I would rent a spot to teach my Cree classes. I would also use the money for teaching materials for my business. I would like to have workshops and partnerships and market my skills on YouTube and Spotify.
