Anishinaabemowin (the sound of the Ojibwe Language)
The goal of this program is to teach Anishinaabemowin to our communities, provide learning opportunities for those who would like to learn the language, and to speak the language and preserve sovereignty. The Language Department staff provides in-person community language classes across our seven county service area, livestream lessons, Facebook lessons, and assists with many translations, projects, and events. Additionally, the Anishinaabemowin language program provides a language lesson to the Win Awenen Nisitotung Newspaper to be printed monthly and hosts a yearly language conference.
All classes are free and open to the public.
