The Gijigowi Anishinaabemowin Language Department (GALD) promotes the preservation and revitalization of Anishinaabe language and Anishinaabe culture. GALD develops Anishinaabemowin publications, learning materials, educational language programs, and language documentation. GALD assists with translation and consultation services for LTBB tribal entities, LTBB tribal citizens and community, and outer organizations. GALD is very interested in connecting with Elders, and members who speak our Native language. Even if it is only a few words, we’d like to hear from you. We appreciate your input and any Native language you can share with us. Miigwech, Thank you.
