This proposed project involves four partnering institutions who are interested in developing a unique digital resource to support the preservation and revitialization of the Ojibwe language of the Anishinaabeg people of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The institutions include Itasca Community College (ICC), the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD), the University of Pennsylvania (PENN) - specifically the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, and the White Earth Tribal and Community College (WETCC). This consortium, working together with the faculty at White Earth, will combine state-of-the-art technology with traditional Anishinaabeg ways of knowledge to create a digital archive of stories and artifacts from the community. |
