UWinnipeg launches Anishinaabemowin Language Program

The University of Winnipeg launched its Anishinaabemowin Language Program (ALP) this week. Funded by the Government of Manitoba, the program contains 15 hours per week of immersion in the language. Students in the program will also share meals, take part in events with the Anishinaabe-speaking community, and connect through conversation with an assigned mentor. UWinnipeg ALP Coordinator Aandeg Muldrew told CTV News that the program seeks to bridge the gap that was created when past generations were unable to pass down the language.
