Translation?[edit]

Does anyone have a translation? There is a transliteration on the page about the language, but there isn't a translation. I believe the last word is Manitoba, from the transliteration, but beyond that I have no idea. Thanks. --XndrK (talk | contribs) 19:31, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]


It seems to be a typical cornerstone type of inscription [1]

Plains Cree inscription on display at The Forks, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The English translation reads:

"The masonry for the wall through time has been given to the people of Manitoba by the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen Local 1 Manitoba to commemorate 100 years of service, by Manitoba masonry contractors and by Manitoba masonry suppliers." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.70.21 (talk) 19:11, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
