I found some video language resources on You Tube.  These are in a dialect similar (Northern Ojibwe) to but not the same as the one highlighted in my language handouts/resources (also Northern Ojibwe).  I hope that these will be helpful for people into teaching and preserving First Nations culture through language. 

Ojibwe language: basic vocabulary

Ojibwe language: Counting to ten

I’ll be taking a few years off from teaching at the Native Learning Centre in Toronto (trying for a baby) and here is a great project that took place in 2006.  The students made short films and this one got raves from everyone.  It’s a satire of America’s Next Top Model done “Nishnawbe” style! Enjoy!
