Was skimming through the library if available languages to learn on pimselour and was so excited to see Ojibwe was listed, then I open RUclips and see this in my recommended
you guys should think about doing the Choctaw Language next. we need to spread our language as well. All indigenous language are on the decline and it's sad to hear about it.
As an anthropology student, I feel I have a duty to share this - seeing the "boozhoo" here. For those unaware, I find it really cool to note the close ties the French tended to have with the First Nations going so far as to assimilate into native cultures. In American French varieties like Illinois Country French (OCF), you find a smattering of words from.indigenous and African languages. Here, "boozhoo" for "hi" in this dialect of Ojibwe seems to match the old French pronunciation found in the modern forms of OCF from the 1500s. Rather important example of cultural diffusion happening.
Love this. Thanks for sharing.

The United States owes it to the tribes to help preseve their languages!
That's the best metaphor for the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis I've ever heard. Thank you.
Beautiful

My tribe just recently translated Star Wars A New Hope into Ojibwa.
What do Ojibwe people think of white people learning their language?
Learn the Language.
So thankful to have come across his videos. 😢
