An art festival in Calgary is showcasing how animation can introduce an Indigenous language to new audiences — and perhaps future speakers. | CBCCalgary
Currently on display at the Festival of Animated Objects is an exhibit featuring 29 animated cartoons that illustrate words in the Blackfoot language.
"A lot of our children learn to speak English through Sesame Street," she said. "So why can't they learn to speak Blackfoot through cartoons?" In January of 2020, Twigg led a group of ninth-grade students at F.P. Walshe High School who were picked to be part of an animation residency hosted by the Calgary Animated Objects Society.
The animation students collaborated with Blackfoot language learners, who recorded the pronunciation of over 80 Blackfoot words. The students then spent three days in small groups coming up with concepts and storyboarding their ideas."In Blackfoot, for example, the words are very action oriented. Like the word for snake, if you directly translate it, is 'the one that crawls.'"
