R.J. Simpson: NWT Interpreter and Translator Gathering
Good morning, everyone.
I am excited to be with you today and welcome you to this gathering of interpreters and translators.
While the meeting is taking place virtually, I am joining you from my hometown of Hay River which lies on the traditional lands of Kátł’odeeche First Nation, West Point First Nation and Northwest Territory Métis Nation.
I also want to acknowledge all the Indigenous nations of the NWT – the Inuvialuit, the Dene, the Métis, and the NWT Cree.
