Starting to learn the Ojibwe Language can be a daunting task.  Remember, it is all in your head.  The obstacles, barriers and also the Language itself.  The Ojibwe Language is a gift from the Manidoog in order for the Anishinaabe People to communicate here in the Physical World and in the Spiritual World.  It is a Spiritual Language and the vast reaches of its power are further than the physical mind can understand.

​

The Language is already in you.  As a Gift.  It is already there.  

​

Let's work on digging it out.

Mission

Ojibwe Language at your Fingertips

As we merge into a digital society, our ways must adapt without losing any of the Cultural Integrity.  

​

Our Ancestors have always adapted to their current surroundings and utilized the most efficient Technology of the time.  Just think of the Tech Advancement when the Cast Iron Kettle was introduced.

​

Learning the Language is the pathway to reaching a broader connection the the spirit world in order for the Anishinaabe to live a well-balanced life.
