Aanii!

Chi Miigwech to everyone who joined us last Tuesday for the Birds of Anishinaabe Aki Returns: Ecology & Language session. It was wonderful to learn together and share stories, language, and bird knowledge. 

In this email, we’ve included a recording of the session, and some of the key resources shared during the session so they’re easy to find.
