Feature Story: Tânisi: Triple word score at the U of R's Indigenous Research Showcase

Abstract

Board games the likes of Scrabble have been designed for use in many languages, particularly European ones. Now a professor at the University of Regina is in the process of designing a word game in Plains Cree - affectionately referred to as SCreeble - in order to help teach the language in a fun and engaging way.

Dr. Edward Doolittle, associate professor of mathematics at the First Nations University of Canada, will present on his SCreeble project at this year's University of Regina's Indigenous Research Showcase, an event that highlights the depth and breadth of Indigenous scholarship and activities taking place at the University.
