As a part Indigenous person who does not speak an Indigenous language I do see a gap‚ those who are able to understand or speak learn on a different level from the stories told then those who do not. The stories I have been told‚ even by my mother who barely recollects being a fluent Cree speaker‚ are usually described to be summaries only‚ as the full story is better conveyed in the language.
