Sahą́ı̨́ʔą

— That's how long the Yellowknife mom has been trying to get the Northwest Territories government to change its system to allow for Indigenous symbols on official documents for her daughter, Sahᾴí̜ʔᾳ, who was born in 2014. "It's a very simple aspect of reconciliation," Catholique Valpy said, as Sahᾴí̜ʔᾳ, 8, played with her hair. Sahᾴí̜ʔᾳ's younger sister, six year-old Náʔël, is in the same situation. Sahᾴí̜ʔᾳ and Náʔël are both traditional Chipewyan names.
