Waadookodaading: Ojibwe Language Immersion School | The Ways

How is language a medium through which culture can be learned?
Waadookodaading, “a place where people help each other,” is an Ojibwe immersion school that integrates the tradition of sugaring into the curriculum. Learn how Keller Paap, a teacher, and Brooke Ammann, the school director, demonstrate the importance of students learning the Ojibwe language in this way.
This resource is part of The Ways, a collection of educational media resources from PBS Wisconsin Education for middle and high school classrooms. The collection explores connections between traditional ways and those of today and expands and challenges current understanding of Native identity and communities through language and culture stories from First Nations communities around the central Great Lakes.
