Resources
As with many languages, translating Anishinaabemowin
into English, word for word, is very difficult without references
or more complete phrases. Keep this in mind when visiting the Anishinaabe
language pages.Also note that there are three basic Ojibwe dialects
(R, L, and N). Spellings may vary in different parts of the US and
Canada.

Each language on our planet is like a gene pool of singular thoughts,

as a problem in one culture may very well be a solution in another.
When thought patterns are lost so are potential solutions and our
world is the lesser for this.

Many centuries before European explorers found

now New Mexico developed a distinctive and complex civilization. These
peace loving people created an urban life in harmony with the environment
and with each other. Their religion was pantheistic and deeply spiritual
and constituted an important part of daily life, within which they
created an equitable government, a magnificent architecture, intensive
agriculture with a sophisticated irrigation system and a highly developed
art in pottery, weaving, jewelry, leather work and other crafts.
