The English translation is below.
Hello
​
My name is Tresley Tourond-Bouvier. My family on my Papa’s side (who has passed away) are the Touronds, the Marions, the Houles and the Hogues. They are from Red River. My family on my Mom’s side are Springers and Klingers. They are from Germany long ago.
I was born in Moosomin, in 1980. We lived in Rocanville and on farms near Rocanville, SK and McAuley, MB. We moved to BC when I was a young. I now live in Regina with my husband, Derek Bouvier. We moved back to Saskatchewan in 2010. We have three children, 15, 11 and 9 years of age.
I am learning to speak Michif. I am a teacher, and a grad student at the University of Regina, with my research focus on Michif language revitalization.
​
Thanks for listening.
