LCO, The Pride of the Ojibwe

[@carolkramer5093]

I am from PinePoint village on the White Earth Reservation, 83 year old Anishenabey, went to PinePoint Elementory School through eighth grade.

The Proud children of the Ojibwe Nation attend our Schools here in Hayward, Wi. They are to be recognized as our first Nation in the Northwest as they are the peoples of this land who after being persecuted by the white man and then brought into his teachings, are now becoming acknowledged for their wisdom, culture and the good way of life. May we honor the Earth...Miigwic h

I'm glad to see LCO continuing to thrive and grow. As a child of WWII POW's & hippies growing up out in the old shack up the Moose river in essentially paradise, when the 80s brought the right wing and white southern culture with it, and I saw the openly racist hatred directed at my native friends by my white friends parents and then my own white friends, it ripped apart my entire childhood. I thought, well if the other good people I know just hate the native kids for no reason than being that, then there's no reason they don't hate me for being whatever I am, or anybody else... and what hope do any of us have to live good lives if everyone just hates each other for no reason? It took a while to become a better judge of character, and realize that not everyone I knew was necessarily a "good person". That period really demolished the hope of the 60's/70s & brought out the very worst in a lot of people. After I saw less and less of my neighbors, with some amount of sadness I discovered that pretty much like anyone anywhere, first nations people do just fine and dandy, when they're not being badgered relentlessly by other awful people. ...only sad to me because I really didn't see my friends hardly ever after that. On the plus side, a lot of these hateful parents are now in their old age and dying off, and whenever I visit, it looks like further generations of our kids have taken it upon themselves to become better people in spite of them. Certainly not all, and of course our 16yo boys should be chained up when not in use. But then they leave the Hayward area and life kicks them in the ass pretty quickly. Well, a lot has changed, and many of us have been strewn by the winds, but if you're middle aged & ever came to play at the shack up the Moose river, with the wild blonde kids in old muddy canoes & their impossible to understand german parents who always baked butterhorns for everyone, you know, say hey.

I lived on the lco reservation in Hayward WI for a little while. Beautiful place and people!!!

[@nikosreyes2481]

Yes my Mom is married and lived my life here by Misssissip River ai am Sioux love the land

[@tombeckett4340]

You use a lot of names that are very common names here in CANADA on your Res . Most People in the US very little knowledge about Canada. When we were just kids we learned all about US history in school. And Native history as well. I live between two large Reservations. And I enjoy learning about Native ways. I have noticed that a lot of young teenagers have a negative attitude toward white people. But the older Native people are super nice. And much smarter with common sense.

Boozhoo. Kurt nidizhinikaaz. I assume ni-doodem baakaakwenh. Gaawiin ni-indigoosii. Shawani bsin mitig ndoonjibaa. Forgive me if any of that is wrong, I’ve been studying Anishinaabemowin since September and am going off what I have learned thus far to the best of my ability so please feel free to help me if any fluent speakers are present! I’m actually a non native (waabshki nini 😂) that’s aiming to help restore the language from endangerment. It’s truly music to my ears and I genuinely hope to one day be more fluent. Aiming to get over to Walpole soon and maybe see if I can help them there in the community and meet more fluent speakers as well. I don’t have many options where I am sadly to meet many natives or be a part of a community. Unfortunately colonization really messed a lot of things up. Hopefully we can undo some of that by moving forward together on the red road. I recently heard of oshkibimaadizoog, I can’t get it out of my head and am curious if any of the fluent speakers/elders who may come across this could help shed light on it for me. Needless to say, loved this video and will continue my efforts as best as I can. Gichi miigwetch! Baamaapii miinwaa kaawaabmin! 🙂
