Kaagegaabaw is helping we Anishinaabe learn our language

Zaasijiwanook indizhinikaaz, ma'iingan indoodem.
I am a proud member of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. I grew up listening to our Anishinaabe language being spoken. I remember so much as I hear our language being spoken. I am truly grateful to Kaagegaabaw.
