I love this, Anna. The word for Métis that you mention – Otipemsuak, or "Otipemisiwak" as you'll also see – is a Cree word that means "the people who own themselves." That is an impression of my people that I will spend the rest of my life devoted to embodying and I love it. I feel a pull to spend time in the area where you are understandably struggling. If there is anyone I would like to have representing my presence there though, until I can myself, there is none better than you. Migizi will certainly agree.

Good stuff friend, and it takes nearly nothing to have me find another Louis Ehrlich book. They’re always great. Enjoy the sky and good sounds.
