Where the word Ânskohk originated

The word Ânskohk was given to us by cree Elder, Mr. Joseph Naytowhow. It is pronounced “ans-cook” and means “passing on the teaching tying one generation to the next or in other translations, passing the story on” in the context of the Festival. (Ânskohk web site)
