Gookonaanig Endaawaad (Grandmas' House) is a language nest for babies 0 to 5 years old. We are housed on the homelands of The Fond Du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, in north-eastern Minnesota. Gookonaanig Endaawaad brings together families of language learners, elders, and staff to raise first language speakers and revitalize Ojibwe language through a community and family centered approach |
Gookonaanig Endaawaad (Grandmas' House) nest programming for babies 0 to 3 years old is a space where families, babies and staff all participate in Ojibwe immersion together during programming.
Our Ojibwe Immersion Pre-K drop-off program for children ages 3 to 5 runs Tuesday-Friday 7:45 am-4:45 pm. In our classroom, children are fully immersed in Ojibwe as they are guided through educational activities and play. Our program is largely outdoors, which allows children the space to experience the world as they learn our language.
