York Factory First Nation Cree Language App

Briefing

York Factory First Nation (YFFN) aimed to create an app that shares their language, history, and culture. The app helps people of all ages learn Cree language, syllabic writing, and explore Ininiw (Cree culture) through stories from the land.

Approach

Our team started with research and brainstorming to design a functional product for learning Inineemowin. We gathered self-teaching content and used this as the base for the app, building from the methods of current language apps.
