    Oh my this is freaking awesome. Im in the exact same boat I did not realize the immense value in our tradition and culture until I moved out of the my Rez. Now living urbanized. You know it would've fascinating to ask someone from another old culture and traditions like from India what's the world they use fir things like graph cause it's probably not exactly graph but something they use to describe it

    I think that Dr. Anton Treuer has made great efforts towards preserving the language as well as creating a good learning environment and a good education for the students in the immersion program. He is working under extreme pressure - time. 70% of the most important elders that were helping him with his work had passed away already. This was aired in 2010, meaning another 11 years have gone by. So much hard work and dedication went into creating the immersion program. Everything must be translated into the correct Ojibwe language prior to being taught. It is an extra step that most teachers do not have to take. I would really be interested in a follow up on the immersion program. How has the program grown? Are there more Ojibwe immersion programs in the state? Are there other ways that the Ojibwe language is being brought into schools?

      Dr. Treuer has a UA-cam channel if that helps.
      I don't know about the progress of this immersion program, but I know that St. Cloud Public Schools will introduce beginner-level Ojibwe language courses next year (and if they get enough investment, they'll consider adding more advanced courses).

    Boozhoo, mno-kizheb, aaniin. Miigwetch for taking the time to make this. I'm a non native doing my best to learn how to speak anishinaabemowin. It's such an incredible language and culture, everything about it connects with my very being and spirit, as well as being the homelands of where I'm from so it makes sense to learn THEIR language and not just the one forced onto them. I'm truly ashamed of the attempts to outright exterminate them. Especially considering that my family definitely had direct actions against the native First Nations back in the day. I hope that perhaps learning, both culturally and linguistically, will I be able to right some of the wrong of the past. I wholeheartedly believe that the language can and will be revitalized one day with many, many speakers. Hopefully myself included! Miigwetch again for all the great work and wisdom! Baamaapii miinwaa kaawaabmin!

      Bozhhoo, Sabé Indiginikaaz, Migizi Endodem, I'm learning as well. Language and culture. I'm 3rd generation domesticated since we were put on reservations and registered like cattle and dogs! I'm not from a reservation and the government's through the UN and the Wuhan China, Fauxchi GATES JABS and disease came from them rich and evil Bildeberg Group, UN Agenda 2030. Our freedoms are not done being fought for and the rights and freedoms are always under the federal government's thumb! Not this guy. Maybe an FBI watch list. As I'm a encyclopedia, as my ancestors, nothing written but volumes of knowledge. Good luck learning and study and use often. Miigwich and much love to you, 💐 👣🦅🐢😮💐

    The only person I've met is David Bissonette from LCO. He suggested 2 books/authors to help me learn the language. I hope to see him this summer to thank him in the language.
