As always miigwech!

Summer greetings to al the Ojibwe😊

“Biologically indigenous”. In my opinion this is extremely ripe material for critical discursive analysis. Profoundly embedded in certain rhetoric is the idea that a person’s inherent essential traits are passed down through reproductive lineages. I believe when people start to crack open that assumption we will see a big change in society in exactly the way gender being deconstructed has led to so much deviation from convention regarding gender today.

St Marie is was likely a bit delusional... talented, but delusional. If the a Cree family adopted her, let her alone.

H'wah...got some pucker factor just now.

The Chinese also don't say good bye. That is reserved for funerals or when they will never see someone again. Instead they say "see you soon".

have you ever been in the backseat of Dakoniwewidaabaan

Quey! Wuneekeesuq! Is there a website with a full vocabulary and/or language primer? Ps. I'm a Sami/Wampanoag 'Finndian' 😊

This just keeps getting better and better!

Well done. Miigwech as always.

Thing I find ironic is being metis but born in another stolen country. She already has more of a right to live where she lives than we do. We got dual citizenship yet get treated like foreigners when we arrive in canada. She could be grateful she gets to be treated like a citizen of the area she claims to be indigenous to. Meditate in the forests or something if you want some kind of connection. Naturalized citizens often have far more land rights than a lot of native and métis and inuit anyway.

Nice. Please do more like this!

Migwetch Nijiikwe! The grammatical explanations really help. The hardest part is putting together a sentence with all the words you teach us.😊 Many blessings to you both!

Love the additional expianation, miigwech!

Good one, miigwech

Your move to begin by talking about pilgrims as an oppressed group was such a shocking one to me and such a pedagogically helpful one. This all helps me frame what is currently going on in Gaza to Palestinians. Thank you.

Does the word break down to something like iron trail or iron road? Biwabik means iron, correct?

Miigwech for sharing another one. We hope you enjoy(ed) visiting our neighbours to the east.

I’m a Red Lake tribal member, really trying learn and connect with my culture so I greatly appreciate your videos.

Learning about a language one word per day. Miigwech!

I’m at the airport with mine in my pocket! 😊

Miigwetch

Does that make me a Babamaadzidi-Mazina’igaans Bro?

I love that this is the first recommendation and word i learn lol, whatever works

I would love it if you could break the word down so we would know what the different Ojibwe words mean. As always very much appreciated.

As always miigwech!

Een behoorlijke mondvol,terveiset taas tällä kerralla...Ter Apelista😊

Words and expressions come and go😊

I love these, but it would be even better if you would break down the parts of the words with their meanings. Miigwech!

did you just make this word up today how long has this word existed in your culture

Miigwech for another Word of the Day!

While it is true that some whites might be able to make money off of pretending he was an Indian, over all there is little money to be made by whites in pretending they are Nativists. What you do more often find is that an artist will be asked to portray a role that is not actually who he actually is because it has been determined to be a "hook" to go along with whatever talent he has with which to make money. While I understand how Nativists could be sensitive surrounding this topic due to their own cultural pride, as a white person, believe me, few whites have any desire to pretend they are Indian. I have nothing but contempt for Buffy Ste Marie, though she was caught with her hand in the cookie jar, instead of owning up to her lie, she lawyered up and is questioning whether there really was a cookie jar or was it something different. It is not ez to own up to a lie that has made that person lots of money but then she attacks her biological family with lawsuit threats for trying to set the record straight

What is the Ojibwe word's original meaning? Is it referring to the bark of the tree?

As always, miigwech!

Did Polyamory or homosexual marriage exist within the ojibwe traditionally?

Aanii. Miigwech for sharing what you could in this video. I'm not Indigenous but I've always had a listening ear to Indigenous teachings and culture. I've been honoured to have the opportunity to have a lot of teachings shared with me, directly from Elders and knowledge keepers who have crossed my path. My grandmother passed away very recently and my mom and I are having a hard time with it. But what you have shared in this video is very comforting and a good reminder. I'll be sharing this with my mom. I hope it helps comfort her too. My grandmother may not have been Indigenous but she had a great respect for Anishinaabe beliefs and values and she definitely embodied that.

I love these word of the day segments with Sky Woman in a place like this. Really brings the words to life.

Greetings from Holland 😊

Aaniin & miigwech from the Low Countries to the west. Keep it up, you two!

Awesome Job you two!! Sharing this with President Biden in my own Anishinabeg way. Love you! Have no problem sharing this video with the best of the best. If MeidasTouch contacts you Tony..you know.

Are there any CD's or video's that my husband and I can purchase to learn the Ojibwe language? We would LOVE to learn.

Miigwech cuz, but I prefer Ogaa❤
