This weeks special guest is Shirley-Anne Lazaruk.

Shirley is originally from Waterhen Lake, Sask but has lived in the Slave Lake, AB area for decades.

Shirley is a retired registered nurse who is also a fluent Cree speaker.

As one of the only home care nurses who is fluent in nehiyawewin, Shirley was often consulted to also interpret for doctors. Shirley shares some great words related to nursing and health care, including Diabetes, heart conditions and more.

Shirley also shares some fond memories of learning valuable lessons on the land with her father.

She also teaches us some words we can use for modern inventions like televisions and texting. She even teaches us to say Hippopotamus!
