Hello everyone, my name is Darian Agecoutay and I come from the Cowessess reserve. I am 24 years old and living in Regina right now. I am currently teaching beginner Cree at First Nations University alongside Professor Solomon Ratt.Darian Agecoutay grew up on the Cowessess First Nation until he was 17. He is a mix of nêhiyaw, anihšināpē, dakhóta and nakota, and he speaks nêhiyawêwin (Cree) and English. Both sides of his family lost their languages some time ago so he was not able to hear Cree or Saulteaux growing up. However, he learned nêhiyawêwin at First Nations University and completed a Bachelor of Arts in Cree Language Literacy in 2021.
Cree language learner and instructor, Darian Agecoutay narrates a tour of the First Nations University of Canada’s Atrium in Cree.
