Hello everyone, my name is Melanie Minnabarriet. I am from the Shuswap Nation. I am from Bonaparte Indian Band and Cooks Ferry, but now live in Ashcroft. My mother’s name is Lynda Minnabarriet and my father’s name is Carl Minnabarriet.

Thank you!

I am an Auntie to fifteen nieces and nephews UPDATE, I now have twenty nieces and nephews,  so throughout my journey of “Auntie-hood” I am heard numerous ways of little humans talking, and with that, my mind began to wonder the stages of language acquisition, as well as minor or major speech impediments. This page is my exploration as to what makes up language learning, and the differences, if any, of rural or urban living.
