POLI 231 - Anishinabemowin: The Politics and Practice of a Native Language

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)

This Intensive experiments with fluidity between the theory and practice of Indigenous language revitalization. Our meeting model is a “language nest” or learning circle. In some meetings, we read, watch and discuss art and scholarship on the politics of Indigenous languages; in others, we practice elementary Anishinabemowin (Algonquin/Ojibwe language). The Intensive includes self-guided language study and group practice between meetings. Previous study of Native American and Indigenous history, literature or politics is required. This Intensive does not satisfy any formal language requirements. Mallory Whiteduck.
