Strung Out Episode 178: PART TWO. INTERVIEW WITH KENNY PHEASANT

Send us Fan MailAnishinaabemowin, the language of the Anishinaabe nation, is one of the oldest and most historically important Native American languages in North America.  It is the native toungue of the Great Lakes Region of North America. But it is in danger of becoming extinct if not passed on to a new generation. In earlier times, the language was passed on orally from a tribe’s elders to its younger members, but in more recent times, this practice has fallen victim to outside influences.The word Anishinaabe translated means a good person. And Kenny Pheasant is a good person, who has been working hard to preserve Anishinaabemowin. Kenny has approached the preservation and proliferation of the language by skillfully using modern social media to help bring it to not only native listeners but to non-native people who are interested in learning the language. His website and YouTube videos has brought together people of all cultures and has also brought new attention on Anishinaabemowin. You can learn about the language camp that has been established so people can meet, camp and practice speaking the language that has been held every summer. The camp combines eco-activism as well as learning to master the Anishinaabemowin.  www.anishinaabemdaa.com.  Support the showWe are always grateful to have you listening to STRUNG OUT.    Here are some important links:SUPPORT THE SHOW:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/MartyfineaKMARTIN'S WEBSITE:http://www.MARTINMcCORMACK.COM  (note---you can get my weekly bulletin when you sign up on the list!)MARTIN'S MUSIC: Music | Martin Laurence McCormack (bandcamp.com)Martin McCormack | SpotifyMARTIN'S YOUTUBE CHANNELMartin McCormack - YouTubeFACEBOOKFacebook...
