Project Overview

KKWE will collaborate with the Boys and Girls Club to help teach listeners how to speak the Ojibwe language. As the elders die the language is dying too. This language preservation project will turn the tables by empowering and providing the children with the tools to be the teachers. KKWE will help revive the language.
