Note the simplicity of the technical poster located on the extreme right. Poster design is an important step to ensure your technical presentation is understood by both the interpreter and the non-technical Indigenous audience.

      <image:caption>Photo 3 Chief Charlie Okeese (RIP; Eabametoong First Nation) takes the lead to describe some land-related technical features at an information meeting with Elders. The red coloured text is the feature description, but in the local Ojibwe dialect. That red text is the result of a concurrent language lesson, directed at Andy Fyon (not visible in the image; Director, Ontario Geological Survey). Concurrent language lessons given by the Elders is a way to show your respect for the Elders, enables the Elders to share their traditional knowledge in a safe way, and opens a door for you to learn more about the Indigenous culture.

      <image:caption>Photo 2a: As part of a collaborative project, Lori Churchill (left; formerly Ontario Geological Survey), Martha Papah (centre; Eabametoong First Nation) and Lily Slipperjack (right; Eabametoong First Nation) worked together to create new Ojibwe language using English technical words and phrases that describe geological and related activities. The new Ojibwe language creation project produced a glossary. The project was meaningful to Eabametoong First Nation because the project followed community practices, the new Ojibwe language was in their dialect and in their cultural context, and school children from from the John C Yesno Education Centre (Fort Hope) researched and created many of the images to illustrate the geological activity.
