Lifeslices: Speaking Indigenously

The Ojibwe people were mainly located in the Great Lakes region of Western New York, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and southern Quebec and Ontario. Like other indigenous peoples, they found themselves amidst the British and French settlers of the Americas. Over the decades and centuries since that time, they took to speaking the new pervasive languages and their language found itself becoming less and less common. Now, younger Ojibwe, like so many other indigenous people, are trying to reclaim their heritage. One of those is John-Paul Chalykoff. He talks to host Steve Fisher about Speaking Indigenously.
