Ojibwe Language Revitalization in Early Childhood in Minnesota: Progress, Programs, and Challenges
Nicole MartinRogers; Jennifer Valorose; Jackie Aman
Wilder Research
In order to explore how early childhood Ojibwe language and culture programs could be scaled up with financial and governance support from state government agencies, Wilder Research explored the process of reclaiming Indigenous culture and language, how it is embedded into early childhood programs in Minnesota, how the state can deepen their understanding, and how state government agencies may play a supportive role. The research included collaboration with three Ojibwe early education programs who are infusing Ojibwe culture and language in three distinct ways, and was supplemented with 12 interviews with 15 respondents, and a literature review. This report provides findings and recommendations from Wilder's research, including a brief summary of the history of Ojibwemowin and loss as a primary language, and a description of current Ojibwe early childhood programs, the organizations and programs that support them, and the challenges those programs face. The goal of this report is to provide guidance to state agencies about how they can collaborate with Tribes and support the entire ecosystem of early childhood Ojibwe language and culture revitalization efforts.
