Ojibwe Word of the Week: November

This month our words of the week are changing from what we were doing the last two months. We started with learning greetings/sayings in Ojibwe, but after two months we are ready for a change. We have decided to learn an Ojibwe story each month and pull words from the story to use as our words of the week. If you'd like to know more about how we decided on this idea, please read our other blog post about meeting with Nancy from the SLNFC. The first Ojibwe story we are going to learn is the story of Turtle Island.

We needed to share why we are switching gears with our school community as well, so we shared why with a clip in our video announcements. We have shared that video as well.

Maang - Loon
Mzhiikenh - Turtle
Nigig - Otter
Zhashkoonh - Muskrat
