Kwé,
Saqmaw Brooks-Lnug is an anthropologist from York University in Toronto. He hails from the Brooks family of Preston (Kitpu Putijk) in L'num'tgi. He has privately taught both indigenous & African history while having been invited to speak on these topics at York University, Ryerson University, & Mount Royal University. Brooks-Lnug currently provides Professional Genealogy Research Services
He is a proud Lnug who continues to learn Lnuismk. In addition to this site Saqmaw Brooks-Lnug is working on a series of children's books to serve as Lnuismk educational aids for parents.
This work is a passion project which aims to be the most comprehensive, honest and thorough educational expression of the Lnug people ever composed & is opposed to the inspiration of an antagonistic experience from any of the content found here. Genuine discussion & debate with the earnest intent of securing the truth is welcome. While aggression is fiercely refused. Your respectful comment is pjila'si. Saqmaw Brooks-Lnug currently resides with his family in Calgary. If you wish to contact or donate to this initiative & further the growth of this site or similar works you can send e-transfers, or emails to PLnugNationalCouncil@proton.me.
This work is dedicated to my children Nukumi, Jigonsaseh, Iren & Lyric so that they might always know to which nation & heritage they belong.
Wela'lin.
Meni, K. Brooks-Lnug
Saqmaw
