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.

In this final episode of Season 1, of “Enweying - Our Sound” we reflect on our families’ journey since creating the podcast the feedback we have received since creating it and the emotions brought on with this podcast moving across Turtle Island through this “big spiders web.” We share some moments we are grateful for as we created this podcast and how it has helped us for the better moving forward as a family in our Anishinaabemowin Immersion household journey.
In saying this, by episode 6 we feel we finally have the audio down pat BUT in doing so LISTEN AT YOUR OWN WILL because Mshkogaabwid Kwe’s LAUGH will blow your eardrums out/may break speakers. We caution you at: 5:45, 12:30, 18:40, 21:38, 37:40, 50:40 minute marks.
PSA: If you do not wish to listen to us speak Anishinaabemowin, skip to 6 minutes.

FULL Interview with Kate Adach from CBC. 18 Minutes of this interview was broadcasted on CBC’s Program: Unreserved, as well as through CBC Indigenous. In this 53 min interview solely with Mshkogaabwid Kwe (Emmaline) hear the more in-depth answers Emmaline shares and digs deeper into her and Ozaawaa’s (Monty) backstory as a couple. We speak on normal challenges we face as a family, facing a pandemic as well as raising our children in a Anishinaabemowin-Immersion household. Mshkogaabwid Kwe opens up about moments that make it difficult, being isolated as Second Language learning parents, and how the pandemic has changed dynamics of this journey, and what it is the drives her and her family to keep going. Listen in if you’d like to hear her take on her families’ journey to revitalize the language and preserve it. **** I also want to apologize to those I may have offended when I referred to “Moana goes on in Hawaiian” I know I was really referring to Te reo Maori language. It was not an ignorance thing but a slip of the tongue being nervous. I apologize again as I am very aware these languages are not the same. Both languages and their many dialects and sub dialects are so beautiful and unique. I want to acknowledge this. ****Follow Enweying on Instagram: @oursound.enweyinglinktr.ee/enweying.oursound

This episode we opened up a bit more about our past and our family dynamics. We discuss what it was that drove us to have this life, how our families felt about it, barriers we face connecting with Anishinaabemowin First Speakers, and being noticed within community while speaking. We cover sharing our journeys with our families, how we maintain immersion in an English world, tips and stories, and who has impacted us along the way. A lot of laughs and cries in this episode. Grab a tissue if you’re passionate!

In this episode, we talk about why children should learn grammar...kind of. We give our reasons in how and why children and adults need to learn the grammatical aspects of the language. We also discuss why adults need to know the more technical aspects of Anishinaabemowin and how we share our knowledge of 'grammar patterns' with our children.
We talk about the importance of us as learners, reading to our children. We debunk an aspect of the language learning myth that 'children and adults learn (or acquire) language the same way'!

During this episode we touch on times we have struggled trying to stay motivated and encouraged while parenting in an Anishinaabemowin Immersion household. We also speak on times of things that we found were obstacles to get over in our own personal learning journeys as we learned Anishinaabemowin as adults.PSA: If you do not wish to listen to our Anishinaabemowin dialogue skip to 6min 25 sec.Follow us on Instagram @oursound.enweyinglinktr.ee/enweying.oursound
