NISHNAABEMWIN LANGUAGE STUDIES
INTRODUCTION
Bay Mills Community College has developed a much needed and recognized
process of Nishnaabemwin language learning utilizing the concept that is
found in the Medicine Wheel Teachings—teachings which are Nishnaabe
and are intrinsic to the understanding and appreciation of Nishnaabe culture.
Not only will the students gain and further develop this knowledge, they
will also gain a positive sense of identity as Nishnaabe people and as members
of the Nishnaabe nation.
In addition to Nishnaabemwin language learning and acquisition, students
of the Nishnaabemwin Language Instructor Institute (NL&II) Program and
students in the Nishnaabemwin Immersion Instruction Program will gain the
skills necessary to teach the Nishnaabe language to second language learners.
The need to regain the Nishnaabe language is crucial at this time in Upper
Michigan. Bay Mills Community College has taken the lead in Native Language
Studies.
THE PROGRAM
In keeping with the spirit of Bay Mills Community College’s mission,
the goal of the Nishnaabemwin Language programs at BMCC are targeted for
individuals who have a special commitment to regain and retain the Nishnaabe
language and culture. The teaching and learning process of these programs
are developed in a manner that is unique and dynamic, Nishnaabe driven,
and attempts to make a difference in the lives of the learners. In past
history, the educational experiences of Nishnaabe people have not been pleasant
and their rich culture largely unappreciated. This has changed dramatically
in the past few years with the ever increasing awareness and enhancement
of pride in this rich heritage. With this in mind, the development of the
program has been done in a holistic approach—holistic meaning integrating
the language in all of the courses in these program. BMCC is privileged
and proud to be a part of building of the academic tradition that will emerge
with the pursuit of excellence in Nishnaabe language study and teaching.
LANGUAGE STUDIES GOALS
The goals of the Language Studies programs are as follows:
- To maintain the survival of Nishnaabe language and culture within
the Tribal communities by providing opportunities for its study and creative
use in the academic setting.
- To develop new approaches and skills in the use of Nishnaabemwin
through research, teaching and production of materials.
- To introduce Nishnaabemwin to students who wish to learn it for
self-growth, personal and professional reasons.
- To offer a framework from which the students will obtain knowledge
and appreciation of Nishnaabemwin language and culture.
- To develop competent Nishnaabemwin speakers who possess a beginning
to intermediate level of speaking proficiency.
- To provide students with the skills necessary for teaching Nishnaabemwin.

where they will have the opportunity to utilize Nishnaabe dialogue in various
settings. This program includes weekly visits from fluent speakers who offer
expertise of the language and culture. To further benefit students’ learning,
