Reclaiming our voice.

Reclaiming our language.

Reclaiming ourselves.

We’re also hoping that you’ll:

• be entertained by our (attempt at) humour,
• enjoy experiencing the ancient language of our ancestors,
• acquire lots of contextual language input, and
• better appreciate the wonderful diversity of human language and society.

 

Like many indigenous communities around the world today, we Nishnaabe people are currently in the midst of an inspiring period of healing and nation-building. We are reclaiming our voice, our language and ourselves. We at barbaranolan.com hope to contribute in a positive (and fun!) way to these efforts.

 

We wish you an enjoyable visit.

 

Miigwech! (Thank you!)
