Language

Language in Atikameksheng Anishnawbek has diminished over time and only a few community members are fluent. The Language Coordinator at the Library develops a language teaching and learning approach for Atikameksheng Anishnawbek and is a resource person for translation services in verbal or written formats. The Language Coordinator also acts as a support in providing a congregate area for elders and fluent speakers in the community to visit and converse in the Ojibway language daily. Efforts are currently underway to revitalize the language through the development of a Language Strategy for Atikameksheng Anishnawbek.
