Despite the numerous battles that they had to fight for their survival, the Attikamek in the northern part of the Mauricie region never gave up. The obstacles in their way taught them that they have to fight without giving up and face adversity weither it is related to housing, employment, the environment or the preservation of their language. Yesterday was a day of celebration for the Attikamek. They celebrated Attikamek Language Day. They succeeded against all odds in preserving their language, Attikamek, which is reminescent of their history and which they will use to transmit that history to their descendants.

OBS

Malgré de nombreuses luttes pour leur survie, les Attikamecks du nord de la Mauricie n'ont jamais baissé les bras. Les difficultés rencontrées leur ont montré qu'il faut livrer bataille sans se décourager et faire face à l'adversité, que ce soit en matière de logement, d'emploi, d'environnement ou encore pour la conservation de leur langue. Hier, c'était fête chez eux. Ils célébraient la Journée de la langue attikameck, langue qu'ils ont su conserver contre vents et marées, langue qui rappelle bien leur histoire et qui leur servira pour la transmettre à leurs descendants.
