Ojibwe Language Revitalization in Early Childhood in Minnesota: Progress, Programs, and Challenges

2024

Wilder Research explored: the process of reclaiming Indigenous culture and language, how it is embedded into early childhood programs in Minnesota, how the state can deepen their understanding, and how state government agencies may play a supportive role. The research included collaboration with three Ojibwe early education programs and was supplemented with interviews and a literature review.
