The Ojibwemowin: Learning the Ojibwe Language

Series produced by KOJB 90.1 FM The eagle

Series image

Ojibwemowin: The Ojibwe language is explored with hopes of introducing conversational Ojibwe back into our daily lives.

The Ojibwe language is in danger of becoming extinct as more and more Ojibwe Elder speakers pass away. This program creates a wider understanding and knowledge of this beautiful language. It is our goal to teach Minnesotans the origins and meanings of the Ojibwe words with hopes they will start using the language again and interweaving it back into the Ojibwe culture. Our hosts, Darrell Kingbird or Adrian Liberty starts us out with conversational pieces that we can use in our everyday lives.

Please note: the Ojibwe language has many dialects with several dialects associated with only Minnesota.
