As an Anishinaabe household of 5 (including the dog), join us as we share our experiences raising our children speaking to them in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe language) as Second Language Learners ourselves. Anishinaabemowin is the language of the Anishinaabe people - also known as Ojibwe. It is an Indigenous language that has been targeted by genocide since settlers arrived on Turtle Island (North America). This is our commitment to helping fight and reclaim OUR SOUND- ENWEYING.

She has recently become known for her children's show published on YouTube called "Language For Littles with Thunwin Camille". Her show draws inspiration from the YouTube sensation Miss Rachel, but rather than focusing on English speech development, Camille puts her attention to the underserved and underrepresented Lakota / Dakota children and their Lakota/Dakota speech development and acquisition.
