Let’s Respect All Our Words

September 26, 2011 Posted by admin Dibaajimowin

Here are some new or unusual words that Anishinaabemowin Teg has been asked to translate. Remember that it is important to know that there are many ways to say the same things and unlike English, there is not one "best" way or "most correct" way – rather, the translation will depend on the mood and perspective of the speaker.
