Enweying - Our Sound PodcastAuthor: Enweying Podcast
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.
