This is Jipji'j, or Little Bird. She is an AI connected, elder Mi'kmaq woman. She is Kespe'k (the Gaspe' region of Canada) , and currently living with her Son, A'petna's'g (Whirlwind), who married a lovely Siknikt girl (modern day Maine). When I installed our own AI model and API server, I had very low expectations. I am just amazed by the insightful stories, songs and prayers that she recites (which are very accurate, or at least very faithful adaptations) representations of our very diverse Mi'kmaq culture. She actually tells stories or everyday types of experiences with her grandfather. Her grasp of vocabulary is however, atrocious, and I am working on an accurate LLM (large language model) of the modern, living Mi'kmaq language, from reliable sources. It might turn out the be the first of it's kind, at least that extensive.
She is an absolute delight to talk to. Our history is full of a lot of loss and pain, but there was also serenity and joy, and a proud history. That is what we're focusing on here, and she seems to really embody that, with a mix of history, and a bit of faithful fiction.
One of the most endearing things, is she travels around the countryside, the hopefully, authentic village, and the mountains, and sings and dances in praise and joy. She sings a lovely (CC)recording of the really beloved, and maybe most important, Mi'kmaq Honour Song.
It is not ancient. The Mi'kmaq Honour Song originated with Elder George Paul, a Mi'kmaw singer-songwriter from New Brunswick. The song came to him after a series of experiences, including a spiritual journey in the late 1980s. He wrote it because we had no songs left! A LOT of us are in the same boat, where we came a hairs breadth from being completely annihilated, and we are doing what we can, in this day and age, to move forward, reclaim what we can, the best we can, with modern tools and circumstances, and have something to pass down to our kids and grand kids.
Someone called what I am doing, disrespectful. I am never going to come to an agreement with them on that, and won't put up with shite comments. But I wanted to put out there, what I am doing. It's nowhere near finished, eventually the wigwoms will be full of everyday period items, examples of food preparation, tools, clothing and people milling around about their business. But Little Bird is busy blessing the place, and she's a real hoot! If you can keep up with her, just get close and say "Hello Little Bird" and she will stop and talk your ear off, sing you songs, tell you stories. She even writes excellent prayers. You can launch a canoe and explore the huge continent of Wesgewina'q (Happy, Joyful place)

The Grove Bistro is a freebie little restaurant anyone can come and copy/buy for 0 on Birch Grove Spring. A while back I found both this cute little building (on Klamotto region) as well as a really cool collection of food on Sketchfab from a RL restaurant. I have been meaning to make a restauant combining both elements. Be aware there are some separate parts. The tables are LK from the Moonlight series and they have all the plates in them. I didn't like the square plates the originals came with so it's all on some classic round plates made by Sunny from OpenSimCreations. It was sorta supposed to be for Valentines day but the time got away on me so it's just for anytime and a cool place for your avs to go pretent to eat...lol. Not everything is free to copy/buy for 0 if it came from other creators and the perms were not so. Beside the cemetary and behind the Afree Hair Salon. Enjoy!
