Here at Indigenous Student Affairs, we care deeply about language revitalization and supporting both students and the community in their language learning journey. Below are some vocabulary in Anishinaabemowin (Odawa dialect) to get you started as well as some other language resources including recordings of Anishinaabemowin classes with Elder Lorney Bob from Atikameksheng Anishnawbek. If you'd like to join one of the sessions with Lorney online, please check out our Google calendar for the schedule!
