About this app

Wolastoqey Latuwekwakon is a web and mobile app developed by the Mi’kmaq-Wolastoqey Centre at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. In this app, Imelda Perley, UNB’s former Elder-in-Residence and a fluent speaker of Wolastoqey, narrates hundreds of Wolastoqey words and phrases to immerse listeners in Wolastoqey language and culture. This app is designed to teach Wolastoqey phrases for the seasons, animals, clothing, and games, as well as information on Wolastoqey smudging ceremonies, a reading of a Huron Christmas Carol, and much more. In addition to Wolastoqey language narrations, this app includes content designed to teach users how to write Wolastoqey words using both the Newell-hale and Teeter writing systems and includes a quiz component designed to test your knowledge of the Wolastoqey language.
