Anishinaabemowin Program for Massey Community

Special to the Massey Community, this is an 8-week Anishinaabemowin course, which will cover the basic tools for students to continue to learn Anishinaabemowin independently or in the community. 

Each week, participants will be introduced to a new aspect of Anishinaabemowin and practice it by creating their own meaning. Participants will be supported visually, tactilely, and auditorily throughout the duration of the course.
