Join us as we sit with Dr. Michael Migizi Sullivan Sr, an incredible father and second language learner of Ojibwemowin. He's the Faculty Director of Native American Studies at Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe College. He earned his PhD in linguistics from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities.

Migizi has helped both Ozaawaa and I during our language journeys with our time at Ojibwemotaadidaa Omaa Gidakiiminaang immersion academy and beyond. We are honoured that he shares his outlook on Ojibwemowin, how he has taught in various capacities, raised children in Ojibwemowin and inspired many more with his gifts of the language.

Migizi's newest book of recorded and transcribed stories from Larry Amik Smallwood, titled 'Plums or nuts: Ojibwe stories of Anishinaabe humor,' can be purchased here:

This episodes topic mostly cover what we’ve been up to since the last seasons releases. We experienced a global pandemic which changed many things in our day to day life. Our children are older and the family has grown together through the natural changes of life as we navigated the Covid era. This episode covers updates with the transitions of life and how Mshkogaabwid overcame a period of time where speaking was too painful, and the way she found her way back to trying to only speaking Anishinaabemowin in the home as well as other success and challenges that were embraced. We hope you enjoy the updates.
