Say It With Me

This page is dedicated to all those jounalists and media people who have butchered the pronunciation of the names of  the First Nations reservations and people all these years. Thank God for the printed word the one medium where the media cannot mess up a pronunciation. Incidently, Peepeekisis always shows as being spelled incorrectly on the spell check of Microsoft Word.

Back Home

Of course, this won't take you back home. It will only take back to the homepage of this website. I would like to help you get back home if you are lost, but I don't know where you live.
