Shyla Augustine is hoping to help give her children and others a chance to learn a bit of the language of her ancestors. After realizing that she didn't know many words in the language herself, she decided to create an alphabet book she could share with the children at the centre. Augustine, an education student at St. Thomas University, has created an alphabet book that includes the Mi'kmaw word for the animals featured in it. The book features a series of animals representing each letter of the alphabet, along with the Mi'kmaq translation of each animal. Augustine said the book is being published by Monster House Publishing and copies will go on sale next month.
