Seven Generations Language Strategy


Janine Landry talks with Brent Tookenay, CEO of Seven Generations Education Institute based out of Fort Francis, Ontario. The Seven Generations Language Strategy is an eight- year strategy that looks to revitalize the Ojibwe language in the Treaty 3 territory. There are 22 separate initiatives within the strategy; some of these are programs like the Adult immersion program and the Mentor/Apprentice program. The goal of the strategies and their programs is to create future fluent speakers that can sustain the language.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
