Customers can see and hear Mi’kmaw words for more than a dozen food items

Walking through the Westside Sobeys in New Glasgow, N.S., shoppers can now familiarize themselves with the original language of Nova Scotia, Mi’kmaw.

Customers can scan QR codes to hear the Mi’kmaw pronunciation of 15 items, such as pie’skman (corn), samqwan (water), wisawipuneksit (carrot) and tapatat (potato).

The initiative was launched in partnership with nearby Pictou Landing First Nation and the voice behind the recordings is Jackie Alex, a Mi’kmaw language teacher.
