Anishinaabemowin

The Anishinabek Nation Anishinaabemowin Department supports the resolutions put forward by the Anishinabek Nation Chiefs-in-Assembly regarding language retention and acquisition. Anishinaabemowin is the official language of the Anishinabek Nation as declared in Chi-Naaknigewin. The Anishinaabemowin Commissioner and the Enkiitmajig Wii-aabiziitoong Anishinaabemowin committee have been developed to guide, support and advocate for the revitalization, maintenance and reclamation of Anishinaabemowin.

Aabdeg go kwii-zhaabwitoonannh gdi-nwewninaanh giizhpin wii-zhaabwitooying e-aawying.

We have to save our language if we are to save who we are.
