Naadmaadaa Wii Nishinabe Gaagiigadayin (NWNG) Language Revitalization Project

The Naadmaadaa Wii Nishinabe Gaagiigadayin (NWNG) Language Revitalization Project seeks to engage members of Aundeck Omni Kaning, Michipicoten, Sheshegwaning, Whitefish River, and Zhiibaahaasing to learn about the status of Anishinaabemowin in the 5 communities. The first step in the NWNG Language Revitalization Project is to understand the current knowledge and use of Anishinaabemowin among community members. Knowing the status and health of the language in our communities will enable language planners and others to provide direction on language revitalization strategies, provide evidence for the urgent need to act and inspire communities to act quickly on language revitalization, and to provide a much-needed baseline of data to inform longer term language revitalization planning.

 

Following an initial survey (language assessment) process, a final report will be prepared that will provide language planners, educators and communities with baseline data on the current status and use of Anishinaabemowin in each community and where opportunities exist to focus future strategies for revitalizing and sustaining Anishinaabemowin.
