Anishnaabemowin ~ "Original Peoples Language"

For many Native Americans centuries of colonization, forced assimilation, and unjust government policy have resulted in the disenfranchisement of countless indigenous peoples. Despite centuries of oppression, for many tribes like my own, language and storytelling have endured as integral facets of community and culture, yet many are still at risk of being lost. In my work Anishinaabemowin, I address issues surrounding endangered Native American languages while providing educational resources to convey the necessity of reclamation and preservation efforts. Anishinaabemowin consists of a set of posters that provide current statistics on language loss in addition to a set of educational Ojibwa flash cards.
