What clients are saying
I connected with René Laurin through his work in Michif-Fransè language revitalization. René was generous in sharing his knowledge and in helping me access words and phrases for my books. I have always appreciated his commitment to Michif-Fransè and the care he brings to this important work.

I have had the pleasure of working with Rene Lauren on the Michif translations for my children’s books. As a Métis author writing stories that introduce young readers to Métis culture, it’s important to me that the Michif-Fransè language I include is accurately portrayed.
Rene has been an invaluable resource. He is knowledgeable and wonderfully responsive to my deadlines. I have greatly appreciated Rene’s expertise, and I am pleased to recommend his translation services.
