KOJB - Ojibwemowin, Learning the Ojibwe Language
This segment introduces conversational Ojibwe back into the community's daily lives. This is a critical endeavor as more and more Ojibwe language speakers pass away, threatening the future of the language. Since repetition and memorizing is key to acquiring this language, that is the instructor's and the show's main focus. Each week on this 10-minute program, the host-instructor teaches the core meanings and the stories associated with the words, while focusing on Ojibwe language and the basic fundamentals. Listeners learn more, building on what was taught in the previous week. Ojibwemowin has many dialects and the host-instructor helps listeners get past that potential confusion with this approach. The Ojibwemowin, Learning the Ojibwe Language is an invaluable program creating a wider under- standing and knowledge of this beautiful language, and an important tool in keeping the language alive.
