𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: Boozhoo, 𝗥𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘇𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗸𝗮𝗮𝘇. Minisigabo Nindigoo Ojibwemon. Makwa Ninoondem. I have been teaching in formal settings since age 14. With a bachelors degree in Special Ed, a Masters in Education, and a MN Teaching license in American Indian Language and Culture, I have spent the last 16 years in the classroom and in communities leading all sorts of coursework. I am a tribally endorsed Ojibwe Language and Culture Instructor, by Bois Forte Band of Chippewa. I have extensive work in the field mastering skills in Indigenous harvest, lifestyle, crafts, arts, and music. Presently I serve as the Ojibwe Language and Culture teacher at Nett Lake School and as the Director of Waawaate Programs, a 501c3 Non-Profit that provides programming for Bois Forte, 1854 Treaty Authority, and several other communities around the state in land-based teachings.
Honoring our relationship to the land, our first relative, is an essential part of my process. I have devoted much time to researching traditional learning processes with steady access to elders in order to gain knowledge on pre-colonization techniques and teachings of the Anishinaabeg, Crow, and several other tribal nations.
