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.
Currently Gookonaanig Endaawaad is transitioning to a full in-person format. Families and staff meet four days a week for majority outdoor-based programming. Our staff has also been working with elder-first speakers to build curriculum and resources for our families to use at home including activities, vocabulary, recordings, and books. See below for the link to our At-Home Language Nest Curriculum Language Kits.

At-Home Language Kits

We are currently working to to create curriculum language kits and resources that can help to support parents at-home working to raise their babies in Anishinaabemowin. The purpose of these language kits are to provide language support for parents, while presenting season-appropriate activities to do with children. Please check out our first language kit below!
