(Ottawa, ON) 15 septembre 2021 – The LHF is proud to announce the release of the tenth podcast episode in our new series called, Voices from the Land: Indigenous Peoples Talk Language Revitalization. Today’s entry is an interview with two Indigenous language teachers, Liz Osawamick and Shirley Williams, both from Wikwemikong First Nation.

Together, they teach Anishinaabemowin at Trent University. Liz Osawamick and Shirley Williams see a difference between how they learned the language as they were growing up and how the language is being taught today. In this interview they explore what some of those differences look like, such as how they teach Anishinaabemowin online. Useful and practical advice is provided for teachers’ consideration for building cultural language lessons that are pedagogically sound, engaging, and can be done both in-person and online.

“Learning Indigenous languages is critical work for reclaiming our health and heritage. The contributions in this interview of Liz Osawamick and Shirley Williams are a great addition to the ongoing discussion in this podcast series on how to achieve the goal of language revitalization,” said LHF’s Executive Director and In-House Legal Counsel, Teresa Edwards.
