Anishinaabemowin-Teg Inc. is a non profit charitable corporation dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Anishinaabemowin (Language) of the Anishinaabe (people) of the Great Lakes region.

In 1994, a group of Anishinaabe language speakers gathered to develop an organization through a conference. The first conference was in 1995 in which the first board came together to develop the organization’s mandate. They developed policies and by-laws which formed the foundations of Anishinaabemowin-Teg Inc. The organization was incorporated October 24, 1995.

The first gathering was held in Sault Ste. Marie, historically known as the gathering place for the Three Fires Confederacy, the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi of the Great Lakes region.

Each year, Anishinaabemowin-Teg Inc. hosts its annual conference at the end of March. The conference coincides with the Official Aboriginal Language Day which was declared by the Assembly of First Nations.

Indigenous Language is a birth right.
Language is essential to culture.
Indigenous language is an asset.
Indigenous control of language is essential.
Indigenous languages are equal.

At each conference, the Board of Directors host their Annual General Meeting of members, and presents their Annual Memorial Language Scholarships to elementary, secondary, and post secondary students who have submitted a language recording.
