This bilingual Ojibwe English children’s book is based on a story captured and translated by RRDSB Ojibwe Language Coordinator Jason Jones based on teachings from Elders in the Rainy Lake Area. Many of our schools are receiving copies of this book and are meeting with Ojibwe language keepers and Elders to speak about the lessons through Connected North sessions. #SharetheGood https://takingitglobal.medium.com/imaa-baawitigong-new-ojib
