Anton Treuer breaks down some basic Ojibwe protocol for greeting, including giving and introductory speech. Narration is in English with the Ojibwe words and phrases in audio and text.
We use the two words here in northern ontario. Northern Ojibway. Booshoo and aneen in Pikangikumeek, Poplar Hill Paungassi and Little Grand Rapids. I hear that in meeting within these communities.
Boozhoo, Aniin Anish ayzhiIyiyen,? Keith ndizhnikaaz. I have no clan, no first kill ceremony, i am the son of Rosalind, i am a shaganashi ally. Winnipeg ManitouAhbee indoonjibaa. Miigwetch and thank you for these , I teach at a mostly Ojibway and Cree school, and I am studying to be a useful ally and language teacher.
I believe in the importance of place names, the reverence and prestige of said places, as paying homage to our Mother Akii. Thusly, I always include Ogaakaaning indaa, in addition to Gaakaabikong indoojibaa, Red Lake is where I live, and Minneapolis is where I'm from, respectively.
Boozhoo Waagosh! Indizhinikaaz Ikwe Ombaashi-- indoodem migizi. Indoonjibaa La Crosse, WI. Chi miigwech. Im so glad I found your channel so I can continue to learn more native words.
I've just started learning Ojibwe a few days ago through Pimsleur. Absolutely beautiful language. I was wondering if there was a way that a white person should better introduce him/herself with... (this will get poorly worded)... how you brought up the "where you're from, or tribe you're from" part you mentioned. Is it just shaw-gaw-naw-she? I'm sure my spelling there is way off. Sorry about that. I tried just making it phonetic. I actually know my family history going way back to Western Norway about 1,000 years almost.
My family has always said we have Ojibwe family. I have been doing research recently and I have to say that based on facial structure. I can definitely see it thank you for this. My dad has long since passed but its wild how much he looks like you
My mother's maiden name was Troyer. John Troyer arrived in New England and then traveled to Ontario in the 17th century. He was Ahmish . I wonder if there is some connection there long ago?
There are lots of people who give native names. Once you connect with someone you trust, you pass tobacco and follow their instructions. My email address is assistant@antontreuer.com. Msg me there if you don’t know who to connect with in your community.
Boozhoo Aaniin niiji!! Indizhinikaaz Chi Nimki Mukade Makwa! Makwa indoodem! Indoonjibaa Manistique, Michigan! I myself am starting work on a RU-vid channel on Native American history starting out in the Great Lakes region as it’s my home and I know mostly of Native culture here. My goal is to give viewers a detailed and first hands look into our people’s culture as I see many people have done projects on First Nations but I feel they’re only broad stroking as to where I want to go in-depth as we see with Vikings, Romans, Celts, knights etc. I want to give all First Nations that same treatment. Just wondering if you would be interested in giving insight and being a reference? Chi miigwetch! Baamapii niiji!
Considering the very close relationship between the Ojibwe people and the early French, it would be surprising if "bon jour" isn't the origin. But Winneboujou is a very important cultural figure, so who knows.
