WHITE EARTH TRIBAL & COMMUNITY COLLEGE LANGUAGE
Goals
Ojibwemowin-teg. Where the language is “The only wrong way to speak the language is to not speak it.”
This is a resource for you to expand your knowledge and understanding of the language through resources such as story-telling, kid’s tv shows, games with vocabulary, and learning phrases you can use with your family to help normalize the use of the language through task-based learning (such as setting the table using Ojibwemowin words, etc).
