In-Person

Join us for 10 weeks of Ojibwe language instruction. This course is intended for complete beginners, and will focus on speaking the language. No experience necessary! 

Classes run on Saturdays from September 20 to November 22. 

Instructor Agnes Catcheway has experience with the Ojibwe language going back to 1990. She received her Native Language Diploma from Lakehead University in 2004, and has many years of experience teaching Ojibwe to students of all ages.
