Join us as we sit with Dr. Michael Migizi Sullivan Sr, an incredible father and second language learner of Ojibwemowin. He's the Faculty Director of Native American Studies at Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe College. He earned his PhD in linguistics from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities.

Migizi has helped both Ozaawaa and I during our language journeys with our time at Ojibwemotaadidaa Omaa Gidakiiminaang immersion academy and beyond. We are honoured that he shares his outlook on Ojibwemowin, how he has taught in various capacities, raised children in Ojibwemowin and inspired many more with his gifts of the language. 

Migizi's newest book of recorded and transcribed stories from Larry Amik Smallwood, titled 'Plums or nuts: Ojibwe stories of Anishinaabe humor,' can be purchased here:

What is Anishinaabemowin? 

The 'Ojibway' language, known as Anishinaabemowin (ah-nish-in-nah-bay-mo-win) is the language of the Anishinaabeg. The original peoples of Turtle Island (otherwise known as North America) The language is currently at risk of being lost due to colonization but with the efforts of elders/speakers, ancestors, spirit and community we hope to revitalize it and give it back to our children. This is our families dedication and story of how we will try and manifest this in our lifetime.

This episodes topic mostly cover what we’ve been up to since the last seasons releases. We experienced a global pandemic which changed many things in our day to day life. Our children are older and the family has grown together through the natural changes of life as we navigated the Covid era. This episode covers updates with the transitions of life and how Mshkogaabwid overcame a period of time where speaking was too painful, and the way she found her way back to trying to only speaking Anishinaabemowin in the home as well as other success and challenges that were embraced. We hope you enjoy the updates.

This episode we opened up a bit more about our past and our family dynamics. We discuss what it was that drove us to have this life, how our families felt about it, barriers we face connecting with Anishinaabemowin First Speakers, and being noticed within community while speaking. We cover sharing our journeys with our families, how we maintain immersion in an English world, tips and stories, and who has impacted us along the way. A lot of laughs and cries in this episode. Grab a tissue if you’re passionate!
